We're currently focused on Drupal development these days, and we're
managing a lot of Drupal deployments in git, including a set of standard
contrib modules with various captcha choices. If it would help, I'd be
happy to move the web site into our environment where we could keep it
up to date and tighten down the spam prevention...

Or if I could gain access to the server, I could do some upgrades/module
installation.
