It was sent to many lists, and thus this time around even I did get it,
and were already considering ways to insert filter rules.
As a general rule, the "list owner" isn't always watching over your list
message contents. We don't subscribe to all lists ourselves, nor am I
any sort of "list-owner".
However forwarding abuse reports to postmaster@vger.kernel.org or
abuse@vger.kernel.org (whichever is hardwired into your brain) will
reach powers that can help. Adding also LISTNAME-owner@vger.kernel.org
to the recipients will reach those, who really are listowner(s) at
the time, however our primary filters are in Majordomo global
configuration, which is managed by "postmaster" reachable people.
