I know how the users can handle the spam headers, but this
is _NOT_ what I am talking about.

Indeed - please make that optional.
but users are quite upset to receive spam from a 
"trusted source" (i.e., a gnu.org mailing list), 
and IMO, they have a priority.

Normally, message that are probably spam are tagged

If you use procmail, you just have to set filter like this one

:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
$MAILDIR/spam


I'm not sure at all that admin will appreciate to be forced
to use the mailman administrative interface to remove spams.

You probably can get more details here
http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/monty-python
and get in touch with people that deal with the spam issue.
