That's a great idea (and a great example of why I don't think spam-filtering technology should be embedded in a Mailman handler! :-)
I think you might not be thinking expansively enough, it allows more flexibility to do spam filtering in multiple places. Different lists will have different definitions of what is an unwanted message. On the Debian lists we don't want anything about shares, liquidity and financial instruments, but some economists will find messages about source code and copyright law unwanted on their lists. A list for pharmacists will probably want to accept messages containing usually-spammy keywords. A generic mailing-list-hoster hosting all 3 of those will want to allow most mail and add per-list filters.
