Well, I think a lot of basic spam filters deal with things such as
subject, and in this case, bluez is in the subject, so i don't want to
prevent that.
I am confused why, like other lists, there can not be a requirement
that you belong to a list to mail the list.

Too bad there isn't a comment field there for doing that.
We'll need a moderator, even if it's a robomod, if the spam keeps
getting up. I'm half tempted to redirect the mail to my Source Forge
account and have my filters run it through a seperate SpamAssassin
instance.

that is wrong. People CC the mailing list when they do changes and there
is no need that people like Andrew Morton, Adrian Bunk etc. have to
subscribe to it first. And I want it this way. Period.

If I'm reading the MAINTAINERS file correctly, the persons of contact
are Marcel and Maxim. The development list is recognized as such, and
the websites are listed. There is no requirement that the list be
open for everyone and their mother to post to, and it's only common
sense that subscription information be made availible (which it is on
the web site, it's how I subscribed).
I'm of the position that if you're looking to send in a patch, you at
least send it to Marcel and Maxim; you more likely join the list and
send it through there. The most intelligent would check the archives
to see if it's been fixed already before getting involved. Only an
moron would spam all three email addresses with a patch; only an idiot
would spam dribble to all three. Unfortunately, spammers have been
observed to be idiots.

it is not, but I don't wanna have other people to deal with mailing list
subscription. It is the preferred way and I want it that way. Period.

Exactly. The amount of spam I deal with every day, the bluez-devel
mailing list is less than 1% actually.

It works fine for me. I don't see any of the bluez-devel spam until I go
into my spam folder.

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
