Hi,

They probably don't send it to the mailing list, but directly to your 
email. This is probably because the spammers scraped your email address 
from the Issue Tracker[1]:

<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-4890>

And yes, it's publicly available.

I've also noticed that spam started flowing into our apache-specific 
email address after I registered our mirror on the Issue Tracker. Maybe 
the policy for this should be changed, or at least make the Issue 
Tracker require a registration to browse it? (at least the 
mirror-section).
