I've got gallery3 up right now and I'm really terrified of a spam bot finding my gallery3 site; as it appears spam comments and tags can happen by default. Is there a way to disable this behaviour yet (running svn rev 20591 right now)?

Thanks!

We advise that you don't run Gallery3 in production yet. But having said that you can use robots.txt to block it from search engines, you can use .htaccess based Basic-Auth protection to password protect it, you can turn off the tags and comments modules, or you can take away edit permission from non-admins (which is the default setting).
