Had (after 5 years), my first piece of spam today... or rather the first piece of LP spam that also made it though two spam filters afterwards (bug #653473 comment #2). The first thing I did was view the users' sign-up date (1996, signed CoC), and so I wanted to review their other recent additions to see if they were similiarly affected... however the karma page (which is trying to be something like the Special:Contributions page in Mediawiki) doesn't /link/ to the those activities that the user performed, which makes it hard to follow this up. My hunch in this case is that it's just the statistically small chance from the random set of a spam bot actually generating a message that $from_address_with_launchpad_account && $to_address_bugs_at_launchpad (quite small, but liable to happen eventually).
