All the spam has been removed from the Trac, though unfortunately we 
can't remove it from the mailing list archives so easily.

I'm not sure exactly who removed it all - I removed some of it, but the 
spammer account had already been removed when I got there.

We do have the Trac spam filter plugin, and since having that enabled we 
haven't had problems with spam for quite a while.  I'm not exactly sure 
how the recent flurry of spam got through, but we'll have to keep an eye 
on things and try to diagnose the problem if it happens again.

Cheers,
