Since the major problem seems to be backscatter, we can pretty easily
more rules to handle most of it.
I personally don't subscribe to debian-...@l.d.o, so I haven't been
paying attention to it or its issues, but rules to address the
backscatter problem are definetly accepted. [And if no one bothers to
do so, I'll try to take a look at the previous month's collection of
messages and try to put rules in place to fix the majority of the
problem.]
That said, if the subscribers to debian-...@l.d.o actually want to
make it moderated and enough active people are willing to moderate, I
don't have a problem with it becoming moderated. [I just know that
keeping moderated lists moderated requires a fair bit of effort.]

I dont think we care about how it's fixed, as long as something is done
about it soonish. Moderation was seen as a lesser evil, compared to the
spam.
If filters fixes the problem we (I) could not be happier.
also: who can add rules, listmasters only ?
