I did hate that too, and in the end it lead to the alioth admins
implementing the Debian whitelist. That helps for about 95% of the
packages using a mailinglist and currently allows all ftpteam members,
debbugs, dak and lucas ddpomail as well as Hennings "migrated to
testing" mails.
Im sure that, if you send your stuff from one defined address only, this
address could be added to the whitelist too. Of course it then should be
one that you normally not use, ie. not bubulle@d.o, but something like
bubulle-l10@d.o or maybe restricted to one host, like
bubulle@merkel.d.o.
Then you bypass all the usual filters on alioth lists.
