Restrict contact form to signed in users

[eloquence]

Describe the problem

The "contact your admin" form on our Weblate instance is starting to attract spam from crawlers.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be good to restrict it to signed in users to mitigate spam.

Describe alternatives you've considered

CAPTCHA is already enabled but CAPTCHAs are increasingly useless.

If you are using LOGIN_REQUIRED, you can remove the contact URL from LOGIN_REQUIRED_URLS_EXCEPTIONS.

We're not using REQUIRE_LOGIN currently as we prefer the process overall to be transparent and visible - but allowing anonymous users to send email is just a recipe for spam. It would be great to be able to lock down that feature selectively. I suppose we could allow-list every other path manually, but that seems a bit cumbersome in comparison.

The contact form is open intentionally – it is linked from the page in case the user has trouble registering. There should be some way such user can get in touch...

Hello.
How correctly disable contact form in docker-compose file?
I added WEBLATE_LOGIN_REQUIRED_URLS_EXCEPTIONS=/contact/(.*)$ but getting not working Weblate at all.

You need to include other URLs from the default settings, so that at least login page works.

I want to disable Weblate contact form in general.
I'm using WEBLATE_REQUIRE_LOGIN=1 and don't have any other options.
I don't understand which other URLs from default settings I should include.
Could you please write some examples?
