Christian Perrier: 4621 potential "spams" left to review for me
A few of us are working on spam removal from Debian lists archives.
The wiki page linked above explains how to report spam on Debian mailing lists. This is in short as easy as bouncing a mail to a specific address, from your favourite MUA.
These "reported spams" then need to be reviewed. Once a given message has been identified as "spam" by enough DD's (there are many false positives in the candidates, particularly in non English-speaking mailing lists), it is removed from the archives.
Many mails have already been removed and any help is welcomed.
Since Frans Pop launched this for debian-boot, back in May, I use 1 or 2 hours every Sunday to this work. After working on debian-boot only, I gradually worked on reported spams in other lists. As of now, I only have 4 lists where I still have work to do:
- debian-user (115 of 2420 reviewed)
- debian-user-spanish (177 of 1157 reviewed)
- debian-devel (136 of 1075 reviewed)
- debian-chinese-gb (159 of 556 reviewed)
