I'm doing some active work with the folks from Project Honeypot.
Currently I have some stuff ready to deploy, just want a go-ahead from
other sysadmins first, though.
(Adding some side information: experience on enwiki
suggests that IP block
exemption works effectively; we have had a reassonable number of requests,
and because each account needs IPBE individually, even if a problem user
does apply for IPBE and is granted it, it doesn't "break the bank";
it's
still hard to set up a nest of socks that way.)
Per-request IP block exemption works fine for vested contributors, but
not so well for new users, who, when seeing that they need to give up
their first-borns, go away and do something else. We're obviously
losing valuable contributors to this procedural hurdle.
