Alasdair has voiced concerns about spam off-list which I think are 
valid. We don't really want spam hitting the archives as it's difficult 
to remove once it's there, and propagating spam can affect how filters 
treat cluster-devel traffic as a whole.

He has also added some spam filtering rules to the list configuration 
that will hopefully reduce the moderation burden. I will consider how 
well they work after some time has passed and review whether it makes 
sense to open the list up on that basis. If not then we should try to 
get some moderators in different time zones to minimise the time 
messages spend in the hold queue.

Cheers,
Andy
