I am starting to think that a better idea would be to make python-dev a closed list (only subscribers may post), and have the subscription process include a challenge/response with a code word embedded in the list rules.

This is how we run p2p-hackers [1] with Mailman and it works quite well to quell off-topic posts without, as far as I can tell, deterring any valuable posts.
