What exactly should GenBank do about it?  Refuse to accept accession
records that do not identify voucher specimens?  Contact the source
museum?  Complain to journal editors?  Scold the researcher?  Is the
organismal biology research community so undisciplined and immature
that we need GenBank to take on this role?

I think the folks at GenBank are smart enough not to touch this one.
