One thing I've been thinking for long time is to consider policy proposals to enforce the usage of the abuse mailbox together with X-ARF/RFC5965/RFC6650. That will automate probably a so big % of abuse handling that makes sense even if you need to make some programming, even if there are already today open source tools for that.

Thus, lots of the large hosting providers have deemed the cost of actually putting a human on an abuse contact is much too high. I'm not sure what the answer is here, but I totally get why large providers just say "we can better protect a web form with a captcha than an email box, go use that if there's real abuse".
