Subject: [TOOLS-DEVELOPMENT] FYI, minor change to errata submission form

FYI, on the RFC errata submission form we plan to add a "simple math problem for the user" to deter bots that submit mostly empty forms (or rubbish content) occasionally. This mechanism has been selected instead of adding a CAPTCHA or an email address validation process. The mechanism will be similar to one used on a contact form on the previous IETF site (https://www6.ietf.org/contact.html). We'll reevaluate in 6 months if it's serving the intended purpose.

Thank you.
