They can't do much about it. Those email are used for mails exchanged
on their patches/bugs trackers and AFAIK it simply means that they got spammed
on the corresponding tracker.

http://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?atid=411940&group_id=30760&func=browse
http://alioth.debian.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=301026&group_id=30267&atid=410622

The only solution is to change the observer role to forbid unauthenticated
messages. I just did it for both projects. At least until some other
anti-spam (captcha-like) is put in place.

Cheers,
