I looked at this service earlier today and played around with their API a bit. It is surprisingly easy 
to use, doesn't even need to be authenticated.

https://api.stopforumspam.org/[email protected][1]

This email address, despite not being an exact match (domain is one of those I carved out, but 
the user is not), does return a match in SFS. I don't see any integrations with Gitea on their 
website, but Gitea also has an API that could have a control agent talking to both. I think that 
might be a more elegant alternative to just manually triggering a check / cleanup for account 
activation status. It is also elegant in that it's just one button press in sessions where I am 
logged in, but still not ideal... So I think I'll spend some time working on this too. Thank you for 
having shared this.
