Well "should" is the right word here - but  none of the two spammers
mentioned here does have "emailconfirmed" set. In fact, very, very few
users do. (I don't for example, but I don't remember whether I had to
click a link in my email or something).

When using the "emailconfirmed" group in the user-list, it doesn't
even return the few (Admins and Bürokraten) that are listed as
emailconfirmed.
Again: No other users that Admins/Buerocrats are listed as
emailconfirmed, but not all Admins are emailconfirmed either (user
Reinsle is not for example).

So something is wrong here.

As it apparently didn't work out, I start with the obvious: Did you
use correct recaptcha api keys for doucmentfoundation.org?
