Need an anti-spam extension

[Dylan Hardison]

Note that what Denis is proposing is quite similar to what BMO's AntiSpam extension does:
https://github.com/mozilla-bteam/bmo/blob/master/extensions/AntiSpam/Extension.pm

Meanwhile, the tracking bug for adding anti spam protections as a core feature
is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=bugzilla-spam

Note this is specific to prevenient /spam comments/ and spam accounts, it is not related to
email harvesting (which is getting easier with the change to login names in the unreleased 6.0).
