Well, there are actually three possible ways here:

1. We fork new mailing lists for more specific topics every time
the broader one gets spammed to the point of making it impossible to
use for other developers.

2. We start moderating further mailing lists every time they get
spammed to the point of making it impossible to preserve a factual
conversation for all developers.

3. We just ask nicely people who spam the lists to stop, and if they
don't we ban them altogether.


1. sounds like a never-ending struggle, though may be appropriate
anyway in some cases. 2. sounds like a major hassle that might only
cause additional work and complaints. In which case 3. sounds like
the best thing to do.
