Description

One way to DoS a CT log would be bulk submission of old entries from another log.

It would be good to ratelimit submission of "old" entries. The Baseline Requirements allow backdating of up to 48 hours, so that's a reasonable threshold to consider an entry "old". Generally I'd expect submission of old certificates to be relatively low.

I don't have strong opinions on how to express the rate limit.
