Me neither.

Me too.  The spambayes user list gets messages from people whose
technical knowledge approaches 0 (and, sometimes, appears to approach
0 from the negative side <wink>).  It's fine to require subscriptions
on tech lists, but the users list isn't a tech list.

I don't know -- which at least implies that the spam rate on
spambayes-dev is too low for either of us to have noticed it.
