Now you know. I fixed the Ubuntu wiki page for you.

Thankfully you don't need to trust it for it to be true. We made a
rapid and logical decision to mitigate the relentless spam we were
getting. This isn't a perfect solution. It's now harder for people to
do drive by edits, and we (admins) are getting numerous spurious
requests to join the team every day and have that extra workload to
deal with.

We're also investigating other options of course.

Thanks for alerting us to the omission. That page is now fixed.

Cheers,
