Quite :-)

Given how used mozilla by now is that most anything coming from this
list is spam, I usually end up reading most of alsa-devel from within my
local "junk" folder...

A few weeks ago Jaroslav asked for a volunteer to help moderate as an
immediate solution until better spam filtering was in place and I should
still be able to do that. Never heard back though, nor anything on my
proposal to try and get alsa-project.org mail setup on the nl.linux.org
server.

The problem is indeed very bad. If we can have a "it should improve via
a new setup within N weeks" statement for some sufficiently small value
of N or something like that we can sit it out I guess but I quite agree
something is relatively urgently needed.
