Comment:

 Personally this is a pretty decent priority issue for my project. We've
 been getting a lot of spam from a lot of places. On the one hand disabling
 anonymous access and adding header tags helps with this.

 But if you have a public facing project, allowing anonymous access is a
 nice feature for your users, and those who would like to submit patches
 and remain anonymous.

 I'd prefer to see something along the lines of a blacklist for URLs that
 the bots are posting, and also for the ip addresses they are posting from.
 This would allow my project to retain the anonymous access while being
 able to block people/bots from posting. Not only bots, but blocking
 problem people would also be nice, and a biproduct of adding this
 functionality.
