Somebody just spammed their Issues page[1]. The one they link to in the letter.

I think the spammer is trying to make a point! For starters, there seems to be no rate limit applied.

GitLab has rate limiting on the API http://doc.gitlab.com/ce/security/rack_attack.html but by default we set it pretty high.
