Unfortunately, spammers are posting to OSS bug tracking systems.
One of the posts got by mail-archive.com filters:
http://www.mail-archive.com/mhonarc-...@mhonarc.org/msg01270.html
Is it possible to delete the message, or at a minimum, remove the
offending content? If you cannot, I understand d
rchives I have maintained and search.
I do think such a facility may be useful for a certain-type of user,
but chronology can be considered an intrinsic property of mail/news
archives.

Technically, nothing prohibits a site from doing what you suggest,
