Let’s face it: We’ll have to moderate errata reports.
(A human looks at them before they are sent on to a gazillion people who all have to discard them as garbage.)

The moderator will only discard garbage reports, but I think that is the specific problem we need to solve.
The reports that are wrong, misguided, not understanding the purpose of errata, etc., still will be accepted, I think.

Can we do this and keep the threshold for submitting errata low otherwise?
(And can we agree to work on reducing the incentive to create datatracker accounts that will then be used for other spam?)
