I heard an interesting twist on this... rather than doing image
verification, you instead reject submissions that come from page that
don't contain a postgresql.org refferrer on the submission page. The
idea being the spam bots post directly to the submission page, but users
navigate thier way into the page. simple (and transparent to the user)
but apparently very effective for some folks that have implemented it.
