I have no control about the bug-groff list! It's not moderated, and everyone can send a mail to it. With other words, it's *expected* that there's spam on this list. On the other hand, groff@gnu.org is virtually spam free, because it is for subscribers only. > The lists are configured to accept postings from subscribers > only.
