We do have a process. ;) 

- File a ticket with fedora infrastructure: 
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/newticket

- Include in the ticket link to this users contributions that you think
  are spam. Also, CC the user on the ticket so they can comment if they
  would like to. 

- Someone in the sysadmin accounts group will look at this info, then
  check fas logs and groups they are in and other contributions. 

- If the user has only ever contributed by adding spam and is in no
  other groups, they will be placed in 'admin_disabled' which means
  that they cannot reactivate their account until they explain their
  contributions. 

- If they have contributed other ways, we may make more effort to reach
  out to them and see if they had a recent account compromise, etc. 

We want a ticket filed so this process can be tracked and recorded. 
We don't want someone to just lock accounts without any tracking or due
diligence.
