Spam in tracker, xmlrpc, bugs.python.org

We had a spammer today attach a PDF file to a test issue.

I used to have access to bugs.python.org (where our roundup tracker is
hosted, too) but don't have anymore. Otherwise I could have run my spam
removal script that gets rid of even the history entries.

The second best option would have been to set the content-property of
the attached file to the empty string using xmlrpc (we don't have REST
yet on the deployed version). That also didn't work, I'm always getting:

xmlrpclib.Fault: <Fault 1: "<class 'roundup.exceptions.UsageError'>:Required Header Missing">

This error message seems to be related to the X-REQUESTED-WITH header
(which I'm including according to the xmlrpc docs). Verification of the
Origin and Referer headers (which I'm also including) seems to be ok.

Anybody know:
- Who has access to the deployed roundup tracker these days?
- Why XMLRPC refuses to cooperate?

Thanks
Ralf
