I've been doing moderation of this list as well — and I can tell you that —
across the several dozen lists that I moderate — spam and abuse have become
serious issues for Google Groups.

I support the first-post member moderation policy, but it does require
vigilance and attentiveness, so if there are willing members, I second
Eran's calls for volunteers. Doesn't take more than a couple minutes a day.
