But, to be more productive: If Wikimedia mailing lists were set up so that mails from non-members would need (si- lent) moderators' approval, I'd volunteer for those queues.
Seconded, I like that idea. The majority of mailing list messages come from members that have been around, and if it's a measure to combat spam then yes, moderation seems a good idea! I have had many a message from a Wikimedia mailing list go to my spam folder when it is perfectly alright, and others that come through into my inbox when they are spam, which is somewhat annoying. I would too volunteer to moderate!
I'm afraid the queue would be too much flooded by spam. [...]
Yes, 99,9 % of the queue will be spam. But why be afraid?
