...only English is acceptable on this list. People do occasionally
post here in other languages, but they are in error in so doing.
They are not in error: there is no rule against it. However, they
are
not likely to get satisfactory results. Posting in a major European
language will usually get one a pointer to the appropriate list.
Posting in others is likely to result in being ignored unless someone
who can read the posting sees it and feels moved to respond.

I think you are not fully true. Some messages in some languages will be
treated as spam by certain users, because AFAIK most of those messages
in non-english languages are spam.
When they are not, someone will at least explain to the guy that he is
not on the good ml. I did it sometimes for French speakers, but did not
redirect them to French ML, since I do not know it's name. I did not
subscribed to it.
About rules... well, there is no explicit rule, but every one which is
not a native English speaker consider that multi-national stuff is made
in English.
They might think it's bad or not, they anyway knows it. No insult to
native english speakers, but this language is one of the simpler
actually spoken in the world (but this does not means I do not make
spelling or grammar or whatever errors ;) it is simply easier to learn
than other languages I have encountered: French, Spanish, Japan,
Deutsch... )
And to finish on why they could post here... I think lack of attention
is the main problem. The second one is spam. Maybe some think that
Debian is so hard to understand that any of it's user can read any human
language, but I really doubt it :D
There is also wrong typing for mail addresses.
