Except that developers aren't vetted in any particular way.

vetted?

You can sign yourself up for most lists, if you have a valid address
and a web browser.

You have to try to get yourself blacklisted (manually) otherwise.

The spammer
with time on his hands could subscribe himself... plus there's always the chance of a legitimate user's machine becoming infected with an email worm...

yes and yes. But how do you want to know this? My impression was that you want to score non-subscriber mail to the list differently than subscriber mail. If that wasn't the case I misunderstood you.

No, same scoring for subscribers/non-subscribers (not all lists on
SourceForge are open lists).  Just that each list has it's own personal
scoring template and rulesets...  I.e. on a list for a software product
that runs cross-platform (such as Thunderbird, if Thunderbird were
hosted on SourceForge--it's not) then you might want to allow
charset="windows-1252" or MIME_HTML_ONLY.  On a list
that relates to... ummm... adding translations to Mplayer documentation
and front-ends, you wouldn't want to have "languages_ok en", for
example, or "SUBJ_FARAWAY" scoring.
