So would it be true to say that the only connection between these
"spurious" emails, aka spam, and debian-www is that the former
started soon after you subscribed to the latter?

You say SM can display the header content. If an email comes from
a Debian list, then the header will be many lines long, and mention
bendel.debian.org about a dozen times, generated as the post wends
its way from poster to you. If you think such a post is spam, you
can report it by pressing the button (top right corner) on the
web page for that post in the archive,
https://lists.debian.org/debian-www/2025/MM/msg00NNN.html
If the header is short, showing perhaps two or three "Received:"
lines, with no mention of bendel, then it's unlikely to have anything
to do with the "Debian hierarchy", whatever that is.
Cheers,
David.
