Because on the second and subsequent passes through it is looking at
the subject of the notice to the owner which contains 's', 'p', 'a'
and 'm' but not 'spam'. I.e. it is looking at

Subject: %(listname)s post from %(sender)s requires approval

with the appropriate substitutions for %(listname)s and %(sender)s.

The handler Mailman/Handlers/SpamDetect.py just implements
header_filter_rules and if there is a match and the action is Hold, it
calls the hold_for_approval() method in Mailman/Handlers/Hold.py to
actually hold the message and send the notice.

No. There's little if any difference between an owner and a moderator
except for which password(s) they know. There is no MODERATOR_PIPELINE
because there is no listname-moderator address. There is an ability
internally in mailman to send to owners, not including moderators, but
I think this is used only by bounce processing.
