We have bots that do that, grawp still gets through(part of the reason is
that these proxies need to be blocked globally or else grawp can still abuse
SUL and TOR to create accounts and make the required 10 edits before he has
to find an unblocked proxy on enwiki).

Blocking *all* proxies is nigh on impossible because computers get
comprimised daily... So new "open proxies" are created daily.)
Maybe it
would if we could hook someone like
<http://www.1freeproxy.com/feed/atom/> (rss feed for just proxies) in
so that they are automatically blocked, which i believe is Wikipedia's
policy anyway.
