 (not even sure this is the proper place to do so...)

 I have an enhancement proposal for Akismet: when catching a spam, don't
 return to comment page afterwards but instead clearly show the spammer
 that the comment was rejected.

 Basically, when catching spam:
 {{{
 add_filter('comment_post_redirect', 'akismet_reject_screen');

 function akismet_reject_screen() {
         header('HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden');
         wp_die(__('Sorry, your comment was considered as spam and
 rejected'));
 }
 }}}

 I don't see the point in wasting bandwidth, CPU and DB queries to show a
 page to someone who has been identified as a spammer :)

 (other minor "enhancement" included: Matt's URL updated:)
