Have you tried temporally banning by IP, city or country?

All the cases that came to my team followed a clear pattern: the 
accounts were created less than a week ago, joined plenty of teams in a 
few minutes, and had no meaningful comments in bug reports.

In case of doubt, I will just ask the person to write to me directly.

I can help with it, if you wish. Also I could made an extra effort for a 
while on helping on other things till the problem is fixed.
