This sounds more complex than a trac-driven project should need.

Do we really need a mail validation mechanism (as bugzilla and mailman
do) AND a captcha? I thought that we only needed one method. I've
always seen the captcha as a replacement for email validation when
email validation is considered too much. In the case of trac we want an
email address anyway (for ticket change notifications).
