I wouldn't bother adding anything to savannah. The problem is the time
it takes to navigate the web interface when the interface for alerts
is mail.
We need to add 2 new admin request types to the mailman admin
interface:
- discard
- accept
the spam message can then be returned to the request address with
those as the commands, eg:
to: address@hidden
subject: discard

text of alert message sent by mailman:

I think we already do... I seem to remember that SMAIL (which is used
for all incomming mail) was configured to do that.
