Apparently some GSoC student who expects developers to do all the work for him and keeps sending the same mail over and over again. https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/message/dfdc4b56cd8e7f21b7b88f0ad266ed47 https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/message/a0d31bf2988bda37cd5e5702612c7fe0
You likely want to respond signaling that sentiment to the user / list before comrel has any place in it. Incidentally an understanding of this specific list's etiquette would be better handled once the whitelisting in bug 650964 is in place.
Are you talking about something like [1]? [1]:https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/message/827c93a0c61b17525f7f9e49c9c29f8c

Elaborating a bit more, this user isn't in breach of CoCs etc but likely has little understanding of how open source communities works. That can be all fine in a users mailing list, but likely not in a developer mailing list. Which is why we define the mailing lists differently. There are currently no technical constraints in place, but the -dev list is intended for devs and whitelisted participants only, c.f. bug 650964. other than that; there is no comrel participation relevant.
This was not really spam but GSoC student questions, afterwards gentoo-dev moderation was introduced and I do not see this individual amongst whitelisted persons.
