I gather that on savannah they're using spamassassin.  However, the lists
can still be moderated.  bug-ncurses is moderated, and gets a handful of
items each day to filter out.  autoconf and automake apparently aren't -
and I have to reenable my subscription to each about once a week (whenever
there's spam that gets onto the list).  So if we go that way, the list
does need a moderator.
