Unprotected contact forms can be easily spammed using web automation (eg:
https://github.com/shlomif/Freenode-programming-channel-FAQ/blob/master/FAQ_with_ToC__generated.md#how-can-i-write-code-to-perform-operations-on-web-sites-for-me-that-otherwise-should-be-done-manually
). That put aside, I think it is a good suggestion. But someone needs to
volunteer to do it.
