Comment (by Ipstenu):

 I don't know that the Network ASN would be beneficial for the reason we
 use them. Literally I only use them when I'm trying to catch someone
 circumventing a previous ban. If you break it down like anon, I wouldn't
 be able to compare "Oh these four people submitted plugins with the SAME
 IP" (which yes, makes me wonder if they're even trying...) but also "This
 plugin was submitted via a TOR proxy..." (yes, pretty common).

 I agree it's not ideal, but in order to reduce the risk of bad actors, I
 think we kinda have to :(
