I've had it with the list spam -- is the any possibility of moderating this

I for one would like this too.
On one hand, it is inconvenient for people with multiple email addresses,
but there is an easy way around that. What you do is subscribe twice, and
go to the options page and turn off email for one of them. That way you can
(for example) email with your normal address and receive email from the list
on unique addresses for sorting or whatever.
We do this on other lists for freebsd.org. However, we need to have mailman
be a little smarter about it. Right now, it holds the messages for
moderation. Instead, it needs to immediately bounce the email with
instructions about what to do. Otherwise we have the situation where
somebody emails and gets i the queue, then sends with the right address and
it goes through. Later on, the message is approved and we get a duplicate on
the list.
If we're going to go that route, what I'd like to see is a message-free
freebsd-posters list I can join once using a posting address that is then
authorized to post to any list. That way I don't have to talk the 80+ mailing
lists and re-subscribe to each one a second time, disabling receipt of
messages, etc. This would also allow us to expempt things like gnats, etc,
easily.
