Description
### What
I have seen multiple requests to add a reCaptcha to the form block.
### Why
Site managers are concerned about bots and automated submissions.
### How
The only current workaround is implementing a third-party plugin for this, meaning simple sites do not have the option. I've searched for open issues but haven't been able to find anything related to WP.com. Apologies in advance if this is a duplicate request.
Contributor guide
Research direction
The request concerns the contact form block, but no file or test is identified. Start by locating that block and its submission flow, then determine how CAPTCHA configuration and verification should fit; done means simple sites can protect form submissions without a third-party plugin.
