Bug Description
Suggest to include a simple captcha that (unlike reCAPTCHA) does not involve feeding data to the internet advertising and surveillance industry.
This could be a simple arithmetic captcha entirely implemented in python without any contact
to 3rd party servers. Such a mechanism should be sufficient to keep out ordinary spambots.

I have implemented such a simple CAPTCHA for Mailman 2 and described the patch at <https:/ /www.ralfj. de/blog/ 2018/06/ 10/mailman- subscription- spam-continued. html>. If there is interest from the maintainers, I'd be happy to prepare a merge request for this.
