Anybody using more than 15 post requests on vim.sf.net within 4h?

Reason: See vim-dev: vim.sf.net was scanned by a bot testing for
vulnerabilities. Most vulnerabilities require to store JS code in
fields, or creating new users etc.

For this reason I assumed that a causual user does only update 5 plugins
in one session + logging in. Thus having a limit of 15 post requestst
within 4h might make sense.

Do you feel this is too strong?

The error message will tell you to wait or write to the mailinglist..
