The page where you select a mailing list shows how many nominated messages
there are to be reviewed and how many have already been reviewed by you.

Well, new messages will be nominated all the time, especially if enough
people respond to this RFH.

Take a look at http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/SpamClean, the
second table, which has these statistics for d-boot. That shows we now
have 18297 nominations in total for 4657 different messages. Of these 659
are "considered" (have received enough nominations to get to the review
stage), so IIUC that's the number that needs to be reviewed and that
should probably be the total you see for d-boot when you select the list
for reviewing.
There have been 591 reviews (although I doubt that number a bit) and the
end result is that so far 16 messages have been removed from the archive.
I have some questions about some of the numbers and will send a mail to
listmasters a bit later to request clarification.
Cheers,
FJP
