composed and sent to the coordinator without revealing either his
name or email address. The latter would get around any privacy
worries, I would think. It would also keep some bad person from
establishing a login to the portal (not hard to do!) and then
scraping all the email addresses to build a spam list.

May also want to rate limit postings from any single IP, so bots or even
overzealous hams don't use the facility as a means of sending spam or
announcements (it has happened before elsewhere!). As low as 1 - 3
posts per day to anyone from any single IP would be enough, especially
if an in progress query goes to email.
This idea is very similar to the IRLP "ask a question" feature for every
node on their status page and it works well there.
