A web portal is a one-to-one mapping of a user request to a gemini request. It's not an automated process. It's a genuine user agent, an agent of a user. The level of traffic you'd receive from a web portal is similar to the amount of traffic you'd receive from any other user agent, and rate controls or access blocking don't make sense. As the maintainer of such a web portal, I officially NACK any suggestion that it should obey robots.txt, and will not introduce such a feature.
