Laurent, I have seen more such requests at mozdev.org, mozilla.org,
opensolaris.org, att.com. All names, which never appeared on Google
before hand.
IMO these are bots, preparing an attack. My guess is that this is a
variation of the russian спаленої землі attack spammer, which was
derived from zeusmail. It's used to take down sites by replaying old
mails (from the same or related lists, so spam filters will not
trigger) over, and over again. This is a very dangerous threat.
