ConfirmEdits default math question is looking too simple. reCAPTCHA 
might be better? Recent anti reCHAPCHA tools having rates about 17%. It 
is also solvable for blind people. The only drawback, it helps google to 
steal books...

What about a SpamBlacklist [1] with a regex to everything and a 
SpamWhitelist for OpenEmbedded related links? This will not need any 
captchas and do not help google. For adding a new item to the whitelist 
a request to the mailing list is necessary.
