What else, complete lynx support? I hope you don't expect OSGeo SAC budget spending on efforts to support such exotic clients. Sandro, please, be serious, it's XXI.

Complete lynx support would be nice, yes. Especially for people with disabilities.
I think trac already works with lynx, and user registration used to work until a few weeks ago (before the captcha).
Improving the "mantra based access control" would allow to perform the real Turing test, as we'd be talking with someone on IRC :)

An interesting pointer: http://textcaptcha.com/ As we use some text-based captchas for the wiki, it might be good to centralize them, and fun to add questions and answers as we go!

I don't know if we should fix. My reading of how to prevent bots includes use CSS and JS as bots rarely implement the ability to use them.
