Auto-update and lock all issues with the text "Waiting for moderator approval", tag them with "approval queue". In a private repo for contributors, duplicate the issue with original text and relevant metadata. Approval in the private repo entails adding the "approved" tag and simply answers the question "Is this spam?". When that tag is applied, the original issue in the public repo is updated and unlocked. Any edits trigger a similar process, "Edit waiting for approval".
As issues are denied, a history of what type of spam or trolling is occurring is built up. That could presumably be aggregated and shared among the oss community, with concomitant spam arms race I guess.
