I know no spam filter that judges only based on Subject. I think that would
be a very poor filter, indead.

Every spam filter worth its name parses the content, and weights it.

As the other Stefan explained to you:
        "Not if it is listed as contact in the MAINTAINERS file."

Also this statement might be questionable in it's absolut form, he has a
point there.

You _could_ use a spam filter, you know?
And besides that the best way would be to activate a spam filter in the
mailing list program. But I do not know if that is possible for that list
