It is being taken seriously, there were some 50+ posts on it on one of the
Debian lists, who hosts the LDP lists. They ARE use some reasonable spam
prevention measures, although there are a couple of basic ones missing.

No, this is not a good solution for the LDP, it is a OPEN project, meaning
that anyone can participate.

Actually, I'd like to see the ldp-announce list moderated for ALL posts, so
that spam just gets deleted, and non-announcements, like your message, also
don't go through. Later,
