Please don't do that. It means nothing can be cross posted
from l-k anymore, which would be pretty bad.
Then set up a list admin who can approve such postings.

That adds unacceptable latency. Also lists who spam senders with bounce messages tend to be dropped quickly from cc lists.

Also you couldn't list xfs@ as bug report address anymore because
bug report addresses must be available to everyone.

In general it's a bad idea.

Well, I agree w/ those arguments too, Andi.

I honestly don't know why oss seems to have so much more spam than, say, LKML. It is getting to a really bad level, and I sympathize with those whose inboxes are bombarded, too.
