I get hundreds of these a year (my user name, Nathan, seems to be a popular target). It would nice to be able to use some sort of multi-factor authentication, which is actually supported by OAUTH. However, it seems most projects (including en.wp) restrict use to accounts with elevated rights. Can anyone explain why these tools can't be made more widely accessible?

Thanks, John. Fae, I suggest that we let the WMF folks who are working on this issue extinguish the current fire before asking them to write a report about a previous one. I agree that the report about the previous incident is overdue. Perhaps as the current situation becomes calmer (updated metrics and news would be nice to have on the public Phab tickets) some staff can be moved off of the front line and back to the archives.
