Well, of course it doesn't help against wiki spam, but the "do not
edit" time will be minimised.
In a way, it's comparable to greylisting in the e-mail domain. You
make the client tell repeatedly that its request is still valid.
Fewest spiders or spambots will respond to that.

Where to publish this proposal?

I think you already did :-)

A good idea might be to make an Improvement suggestion at https:// 
issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI, so it's not forgotten.
