Most, if not all, gnu.org mailing lists _are_ human-moderated. How do
you think we can have emacs-devel so spam-clean?

Human moderation works mainly by holding mail from non-subcribers.
This is a good policy for a regular mailing list, where anyone who
wants to participate in discussions can simply subscribe to the list.
But for a bug-tracker gateway, this is IMO not a very good idea,
because someone who wants to report a bug won't normally consider
subscribing, as from her point of view reporting a bug is doing us a
favor. Thus, implementing your suggestion might potentially become a
significant burden on the moderator due to a large volume of held
messages that the moderator would need to review.
