I see what you mean.  I'd definitely recommend putting these in the
bugzilla so the developers have a record of it.

The main problem with having "compensate" rules is that gives spammers
something to abuse, and I'd expect that's why they've mostly vanished
in 2.60.  There was a lot of abuse of negative-scoring rules in 2.5x
(x<=3).

Options - whitelist these mailing lists, or write your own rules to
give a negative score to them to compensate in your own
configuration.
