This has already been reported as #760538. I just merged the reports.
Unfortunately there is not much I can do about this at the moment short
of changing the maintainer adress away from the common ceph-maintainers
list which includes the package maintainers for ceph of most Linux
distributions. Having this as the the maintainer address proved to be
very usefull as it allows upstream and other distro maintainers to chime
in on bug reports that are not purely Debian specific.

As discussed in #760538 it also at least contentious if a moderated list
violates paragraph 3.3. of the Debian Policy as it does accept these
mails, they are just not forwarded to list subscribers until manual
approval. The list does not reject those mails.

I myself would prefer a setup where mail from the Debian BTS and FTP
Masters would be exempt from moderation. Is there an example mailman
configuration I can forward to the list owners? Or ist there a canonical
list of sender addresses? This would greatly help resolve this issue.
