Yes, but that doesn't help. BTS mails are not sent from @debian.org
addresses except a DD sends the report. Maybe one can whitelist the

Resent-CC: <the mail address>
Resent-Sender: Debian BTS <...>

headers, but I'm not sure.

Nope.

This list is hosted by debian.org and it is probably checked with spam
detection tools like spamassassin. The alioth lists are not checked (to
my knowledge). Typical open lists at alioth are: debian-xml-sgml-pkgs,
pkg-java-maintainers, dpatch and the emboss list. And to my knowledge
they are all spammed.

AFAIK you only have two choices when using a list address as maintainer
address:
(1) open the list
(2) still moderate the list

The latter needs some active moderators.
