One solution would be to create a user account 'maxima-bugs' or some
such with a one-time password on the bugs page. This would cut 90-99% of the
automated spam. I've poked around on sourceforge to see if there is a
way to create such an account which is owned by the project manager(s), but
I can't find one.
If such a feature really does not exist, perhaps it is a good idea to put
in a support request to sourceforge?
