I see an implementation by listing forbidden IPs in Config.hosts_deny in
wikiconfig.py file [1].

If I understand correctly, we need to allow read access for every one
and limit login access (to refuse modifications). For example, it could
be implemented by adding a Config.hosts_login_deny attribute in MoinMoin.

Am I right?
