No. Some discussion was added to a wiki page 
http://kwiki.ffii.org/?GenbaEn but there is little sign of resolution. 
Most of the trivial list spam could be blocked by server admin (and 
you point out more obvious ways to do this) or greatly reduced by list 
admin. FFII have fallen below the amount of work required to sustain 
the list. That's fine, they have other things to work on, but this 
list needs to move where it will get support.

So, where can it move to? Even moving to a GNU.org list may be a 
better idea, although it introduces lag for us Europeans. It would 
feel good to move a GNU software off a non-free-software server like 
FFII's.
