I think you're missing something.

The point was to reduce the spam load on the currently not-too-highly
spammed sourceware account.  By duplicating the raw email address twice
you've increased the likelihood that I'll see spam.  Even if I don't,
sourceware also has good spam filtering but that is no reason to
increase the amount of email to sourceware that gets dropped on the
floor.

So this has nothing to do with your person spam filter.  It has to do
with list policy and not getting *my* account spammed.

I don't want to beat a dead horse here.  I know that Cliff knows what
I'm talking about and he was obviously trying to help.  It's not that
big a deal but I don't want there to be any confusion about this in the
archives.
