Just a few ideas:

Do all the LDP lists need to be open? I can understand why LDP-discuss and
submit are, but the announce list?

Perhaps on the lists that remain open they should move to moderated
forumns for non-subscribers, that is all those subscribed can post
normally, but those non subscribed have to go through a moderator. 

OR

Could something be added to the subject line of messages coming from
subscribers, so that those of us not wanting the spam can filter all those
messages not originating from subscribers by a simple procmail recipie?
