Spam filters (like LLMs) are statistical gadgets that rarely provide
explanatory context.  It's a double-edged sword, as this measure was
made necessary by an organized campaign of mass-spamming bugzilla
records.  We're sorry about the inconvenience, but it's the best
balance we've been able to strike.
