Not really; it's just the continuing battle between spammers and Blars
(and to a lesser extent, the rest of us with owner@ hats). Rules are
put in place to block spam that gets through. [Just to give you an
idea of how much spam we do block; every day the BTS discards around
4G of non-duplicate spam; I've no idea how much in total we ditch.]

If anyone is doing a substantially better job of filtering than the
bts is, let owner@bugs.debian.org know; but in general you should just
see the few spammers who end up being successful.
