This is correct.

I played with the trac auto-account-creation plugin, but was
insufficiently happy with its code maturity to deploy it generally on
red-bean.

Anonymous issue submission is not an option, since Trac spammers exist :-(.

A solution I've been contemplating is having our trac insert a
non-standard hidden field into the html form, and check for this on
submission. Of course, that operates on the rather large assumption tat
all the automated spam software is too lazy to do a usual GET of the
form, skipping straight to the POST. Anyone happen to know if that's the
case?

If not that, then I guess we need some kind of CAPTCHA solution, or an
accounts registration system that is adequately thorough.

Max.
