This does seem like the sanest approach, doing away with anon voting takes away a valuable source of input and worse still it encourages account sprawl.. nobody these days likes to open accounts just for one vote, till OpenID is implemented and people start getting accounts, I guess that we will see less feedback, if I wasn't in the system already as a contributor I certainly wouldn't open an account to vote on a single update.
Another problem seems to be that we aren't encouraging users to go vote on packages, it's not a feature of Fedora we display very prominently. I would love to see us encourage ordinary users to help us out. Just increasing the amount of feedback would likely drown the occasional multiple voter.

I would rather force anonymous to enter an email address.
This can still be abused but lets try it and see how it turns out.
It also adds the possibility for maintainers to contact the testers
(comments like "does not work" are useless).
The email address should not be visibly to other anonymous users.
