right now, the spam outweighs the actual posts. this is a low-traffic list
but we get about one spam email a day. that's still low, I know, but letting
it through would make the list useless. and it's a guarantee that I get the
daily reminders about the spam. quick bugfix can also be attached
to bugzilla though that also needs an account, I admit. And we get hardly
any anyway :(

since it's not the only list I'm getting daily moderation requests for,
it's quite annoying overall.
