I'm one of those list administrators and I can attest that having spam 
flood the review queues of the mailing lists is a huge problem.  It's 
not terribly unusual for the review queue of some lists to get so large 
that  you can't download and resubmit Mailman's review page without 
crashing the web browser (and I've tried several different browsers on 
different platforms).
but despite first-hand experience with the problem I'm still worried 
about using SpamAssassin - I've seen it block too many legitimate 
messages.
