I was rather hopping to move the membership procedure, perhaps with some urgency, to a limited distribution mail list, that the membership committee read. On the other hand, that becomes "not open" :-(
This is the longer term plan, but its also not the hard part, the harder part is storing the list of members usernames and email addresses in a manner that only the people who really need to access the data can access it.
What about making connect not admit new registrations automatically? But delayed by a human inspecting them? Let them register but only have access to their own profile, not published till after inspection. And yes, I do volunteer for that human inspector. I am already doing it, but after the fact. That would impede spammers getting access to email addresses. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.1 (Legolas))
