Ok, I take that back.  There was a marked shift but not that dramatic. 
Looks like I've been un-subscribed.

I've found people are largly co-operative if you ask them to submit the 
bug via the web interface.

If it really is still receiving much spam then that subscribe wouldn't 
help (and could possibly confuse things).  sware would bounce a bug 
submittion that @gnu.org had accepted, or sware would just end up full 
of spam reports.
