I don't see enough bogus messages to justify a large effort.
I think they were really bad about a couple of months ago. The
German stuff is unlikely to get caught by any kind of spam filter.
I think it demonstrates that _if_ the lists are going to be
moderated, they are going to have to be hand-moderated.
To me it isn't the quantity of spam that _I_ see that's the big
concern, its the free multi-plexing, whereby each spammer who posts
to this list gets their message delivered to 100's of people around
the world. Take your distraction and multiply it by a big number,
that's the actual cost of spam on this list.
Some of the other GNU lists (e.g. gnu-emacs-sources) are far less
readable, because of a much greater prevalence of spam.
If they get more frequent or more objectionable I would agree,
and would be prepared to participate in moderation of the list.
