Just to give you some numbers: Akismet is now rejecting about a hundred spam posts *a day*. It looks like it gets about one or two false positives *a week*. I'd certainly say that's doing more good than bad, myself. If you (or anyone) wanted to take the time to write a "decent spam protection" plugin for Trac, I'm sure both the Django community and the Trac one would thank you! Until then, yes, if you get flagged incorrectly drop an email to django-dev and we'll whitelist you.
