Not strange at all.
We all know there are a relative few large-scale spammers who send a
large percentage of the spam, I'm not surprised when this mailing
list happens to make it onto one of their lists.
Each time the spammers find another way around the spam filters, the
list gets a flood. The filters get updated, the flood slows, until
the next time the spammers find a way around those filters, and so
on.
As much as I do not want to restrict the Debian lists to "subscribers
only post", I will not be surprised nor blame the Debian developers
if that decision is made.
Heck, even the "subscribers only may post" mailing lists I'm on get
spammed once in a while, the only lists that have so far
remained "safe" are the ones where a moderator has to approve all
subscriptions. Anyone here want that? Didn't think so.
