FUDforum already logs failed logins to admin account(s).

Making loggins progressively longer is a bad idea in a web environment, since sleep(X seconds) would put the apache child to sleep making it unable to serve requests (potential DOS).

I suppose it could be implemented with JavaScript, but that won't affect automated tools, which brute force attempts will be done with.

Temporary disabling of login for an account could be done fairly easily, but I am not certain it would accomplish much other then take brute forcing a password slightly longer. Keep in mind, most 'brute' force attempts are accomplished by guessing 1 password that the user uses in many places and then simply trying it in the apps that they use. A multi-request bruteforce would be very easy to notice, through numerous log web server entries and forum's "who's online".
