The list is deliberately open so that non-subscribers can post. Receiving more than the usual amount of spam is an unfortunate consequence. Because the list address is used as the contact address for packages we maintain, it cannot be any other way. The list software in use is Mailman. I have used whatever settings Alioth sets as default, assuming that they are reasonable. If you believe their default settings are unreasonable, open a support ticket with Alioth. I'll make any adjustments we can agree would cut down on spam without impeding the normal functioning of the list.
