Can't you read, or do you have problems reading between the lines?
Naturaly this verification mail comes (and goes) to the BTS.

That's different. Using it on the debian mailinglists or not is another
issue. I don't care about the spam THERE (I got filters), but I don't like
them on the BTS.

For each spam, the counter goes up. What if someone (in one year or so)
sees that Debian have (have had) 1 milion bugs (resolved or not)!? And
900000 of those are spam. Who cares? The bugs numbers are above one milion,
that means Debian GNU/Linux is so crappy that it have (had) a milion
bugs! THAT makes Debian look bad!
