Is this something that an en.wp admin can solve, or does it need developer intervention?

I assume the problem is:
1) Bot gets a bad password, or other problem logging in 2) Bot tries and fails several times to log in, thereby exceeding the login throttle 3) subsequent login attempts require a captcha and hence cannot be performed through the API 4) there is no method to reset the throttle except by waiting for it to expire
What's needed, clearly, is a throttle IP whitelist. Implementing it more cleanly than the Just Another Whitelist In A Global Variable method, is another question...
