Just a simple robo-moderator would do fine:

(or (search-forward ".el" nil t) 
    (search-forward "Emacs" nil t) 
    (send-message-to-human))

In English, automatically accept any message which contains the word
"Emacs" (properly captialized) or the ".el" extension indicating Emacs
source code.  Any legitimate article in gnu.emacs.sources should contain
Emacs source code, or comments on it; spammers pick addresses at random,
and aren't likely to mention Emacs by name.
