I agree this could be a concern, from my experience two years ago.
True nomcom aficionados, the ones who will run the selection process in
parallel with the Chair, will know that the official announcements from
this Nomcom are also found at:

I don't think normal NomCom mails would be affected, just this
gratuitous lottery process announcement which might get filtered
because of way to many mentionings of lotteries.
So i thought this was more fun than serious if it got filtered.
Of course, if spam filters would associate nomcom with a lottery process
more permanently, then it might impact actually useful nomcom mails.

Sorry, friday comic relief email:
I wonder how many spam filters hold back these NomCom process mails due
to
their suspicious content ;-))
I do wonder, given that out of my database of 372 emails who have been
said to have volunteered for the nomcom at one time or another, I have
51 qualified and 120 non-qualified volunteers who have not replied to my
emails.... the deadline is still Monday....
