Minor point, Trac has no system for blocking users. I could add 
something to block the IP, but in a DHCP world that rarely does 
anything. The user could certainly just register another account under a 
different name/email. I'm not really sure how you would go about 
blocking contributions on a system designed from the ground up to be as 
open to contributions as possible.
