Comment (by chriscct7):

 I have to ask others quite often to delete Slack messages for tickets that
 were submitted as spam or security (instead of it going to hackerone).
 Having this automated or some way to do it where I don't have to find
 someone to do the Slack side of it would be really helpful, particularly
 when people report security things.

 > The push notifications to Slack actually occur through an Trac Email
 which gets processed by a PHP script which then sends the data out.

 That's insane but cool at the same time. It makes sense I guess.

 Some thoughts on the options presented:

 With option 2, we'd need to be careful that someone can't just start
 hitting that endpoint directly or crafting inline HTML to trigger that
 process.

 With option 1, I'm not sure that assumption can be assumed. For example,
 with ticket 45419 (whose number did not get reused), I only noticed it
 after maybe 30 - 60 minutes of it being submitted, then posted in security
 to see if anyone else concurred with my thought that it should be pulled,
 and IanDunn deleted it about 20 minutes later, once a mini-consensus was
 established. Particularly for busy trac days (in terms of gardening),
 periods of the day (especially weekends) where most people are not
 monitoring slack, and times when a lot of things are going on in Slack,
 tickets might not be noticed right away.
