It would be helpful to know if the user recently hit the spam blacklist. For example, to detect spammers trying to get around it or moving to other urls. I think this should be feasible now that there's a log of spam blacklist hits.

It would be helpful to know if the user recently hit the spam blacklist.
Helpful for who exactly? The user her/himself?
Ok, that wasn't clear. I mean that it should be an abusefilter variable like article_recent_contributors. Let's call this variable users_having_recently_hit_the_spamblacklist.
Example filter :
!("autoconfirmed" in user_groups) &
(article_namespace == 0) &
(user_name in users_having_recently_hit_the_spamblacklist) &
(old_size > 0) &
(count("http://", string(added_lines)) > count("http://", string(removed_lines)))
This will detect all users having recently hit the spamblacklist and adding a new link. Those new links are most often inappropriate as well, or the content added is problematic.
While coding this feature shouldn't be hard, I guess we should first think of a decent name for this variable and, primarily, to the time period to keep track of, i.e. what "recently" would mean in terms of numbers.
