Yes, it has to so people on the kernel list can cc: this list without
having to be subscribed.  And it actually gets very little spam, like a
handful of messages a day.

Finally, every list message has headers like this:

X-Spam-Score: 1.0 (+)
X-Spam-Report: Spam Filtering performed by sourceforge.net. See
http://spamassassin.org/tag/ for more details. Report problems to
http://sf.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=1&atid=200001 1.0

SF_CHICKENPOX_APOSTROPHE BODY: Text interparsed with ' -0.0 AWL
