Integration of Google reCAPTCHA into DSpace Feedback Form

[sanjibmodak123]

The feedback form within the DSpace repository poses a significant threat from spam emails. This is causing permanent blocking of email IDs due to policy violations. To tackle this risk and ensure the integrity of the whole system, the integration of Google reCAPTCHA is highly required as soon as possible. This feature will surely minimize the risk and threat from the potential misuse of feedback form for different advertisement campaigns or any other spam emails.

To make this happen we can use the existing Google reCAPTCHA system that is been used in the registration form. Similarly, dspace.cfg file should have the option to enable Google reCAPTCHA for the Feedback form also, which will provide flexibility for the administrators on whether to use reCAPTCHA in the feedback form or not.
