Not all spam is automated , so just requiring a CAPTCHA wouldn't be very useful. I think a slightly better approach would be to add the comment to a queue if it fails the spam filter, and require a TU to approve it.

Seems like a lot of unnecessary work for TUs though. Maybe it would be better for maintainers approval to be required for posts that fail a spam filter (they could just ignore it). Even if its not really spam, its probably aimed at the maintainer anyway.
