There is no point in debating about spam here, it becomes spam by
itself. What is needed is someone that manages to convince the FSF to
protect their machines. I tried, and never got answers.
Finally, making these list closed is wrong: there are about as many
posts from people from outside than from inside. And bug-* can
obviously not be closed.
