It's not me. One of them had these headers:

Another even had a different envelope sender:

They use duplicate message IDs, which I suppose is why they didn't
appear in Gmane. Maybe it's a test of a new spamming strategy. I've
long said that Mailman is laughably insecure and that it's only a
matter of time before it's spammed to death, and that the only
solution will be to evacuate to a web forum.
