yes we talk about django users who are not subscribing to any list only to the django user managment.
OK, thanks.
Automatically removing this users like described above with a cron job is a good idea, but i would more like to avoid this users.
Obvious this users are created by a bot, would it not be helpfully to use any kind of captcha?
I don't know ... last I checked the smarter bots were better at solving captchas than real users are. I guess we could put in a hook, so you could add one if you like, but I'd be against maintaining the captcha itself in Mailman. I think it's redundant when we could address this particular bot automatically in Mailman (see my response to Andrew).
Captchas are also anything but accessible. We periodically make efforts at accessibility, but we're not very good at the moment from what I'm hearing. I wouldn't want to add a feature that makes things worse.
That's not a definite no, but it's fair to let you know my default position on them.
