Gmane already does do spam filtering: http://gmane.org/filter.php.

Seeing as you use gnus, here's (part of) what I have in my
News/all.SCORE file:

(("xref"
  ("gmane.spam.detected" -1000 nil s))
 ("xref"
  ("gmane.mail.spam.spamassassin.sightings" -1000 nil s))
 (mark-and-expunge -100))

AFAIK, all posts are run through spamassassin on the list mail server.
It leaves the messages fairly intact, but adds some headers to help
filtering.  Of course, since Gmane does its own filtering, this won't
really affect the Gmane lists.
