Might there be
some relatively easy way to hack rate limiting into
the code?
In general, except for triage WONTFIX runs, I shouldn't think any given user
would need to comment on or status-change a bug more than about every minute
or two, possibly with an exponential backoff.
After fixing one bug, going to close another as a duplicate less than a
minute after the previous save, doesn't seem strange. There can even be
a few of them.
Fair point.
I don't have any non-vandalism clickstream stats, so I can't tell you whether
that invalidates the suggestion, or merely means you have to tune it better.
"Allow 5 changes in 3 minutes, and then require a 30 second delay that doubles
after every three additional changes"?
You see what I mean.
Cheers,
