The MoinMoin developers consider TextCHA inherently superior and so
have no interest in writing a reCaptcha interface:

http://moinmo.in/FeatureRequests/ReCaptcha

(Note also the problems people have had with TextCHA: it becomes too
much work to write the questions and to answer the questions.)

If someone wants reCaptcha in MoinMoin, it appears they will need to
write it all themselves.

reCaptcha has essentially been cracked now
(http://it.slashdot.org/story/10/08/05/2054247/ReCAPTCHAnet-Now-Vulnerable-to...)
so I'm not sure it's worth using it in the wiki.
