But what it really required was for me to look at the question with fresh
eyes. :)

Here then are the spam filtering rules on the pkg-samba-maint list, which
permit whitelisting of all subscriber, BTS, archive, and alioth mail:

Privacy options -> Spam filters -> Spam Filter Rule 1 (accept):

 ^X-Debian-PR-Source: samba  (<-- obviously change this source package name)
 ^X-Debian-PR-Message: transcript$

Privacy options -> Spam filters -> Spam Filter Rule 2 (defer):

 .

Privacy options -> Sender filters -> generic_nonmember_action: hold
Privacy options -> Sender filters -> accept_these_nonmembers:

 ^[A-Za-z0-9.-]+ at alioth\.debian\.org
 installer at ftp-master.debian.org
 dak at ftp-master.debian.org
 owner at bugs.debian.org
 bts-link-upstream at lists.alioth.debian.org
 noreply at henning.makholm.net

General Options -> respond_to_post_requests: no

Matthijs, I would be happy if you would give these settings a try and see
whether they work for you.  If they do, I'll publicize them more in my blog
and see if there's a way that we could make these defaults on alioth;
sensible spam filtering on alioth had eluded me for the longest time, and
I'm excited by the prospect that we might be able to finally recommend a
good solution that spares developers from getting all those annoying
auto-responses when trying to communicate with maintainers. :)
