For the Zope 3 list, we hold such messages and approve them manually,
but they aren't discarded.  I'd thought the other checkin lists worked
the same way, but I don't know who's taking care of them.

There is a lot of spam directed to the Zope 3 checkins list, so I
presume that's true of the others as well.

We've looked at ways to help automate this; it seems it has a lot to
do with the level of Mailman-fu available.

But you're right, it is really annoying to not get the legitimate checkin mail.
