The problem with this (and the reason it hasn't been done before) is that several
people subscribe to the list under a different address than the one they use to post -
for example, some institutions gateway the list to a local newsgroup. We could work
around this, but it would undoubtedly cause a non-zero amount of hassle.
The haskell.org crew are looking into installing some spam filtering at the moment.
