However, it's simply a technical fact: the thing which we moderate is the

comp.lang.python which is, as the description says, unmoderated.

Thank you, Tim and Ethan and the other moderators, for performing that
function.
It makes the reading experience more pleasant for me.
I looked, for the first time in a long while, at the GG mirror of the
newsgroup. Hadn't realised how much of that really nasty all-caps spam
we were blocking. (We set up some gateway rules when that started to
become a problem so we just don't see it on the mailing list).
Most of the time we're just binning run-of-the-mill spam. Doesn't take
too much effort if you keep on top of it, but it piles up quickly enough
if you leave it for a bit!
