At 400-500 mails per day, who is going to handle the moderation? Sure only a portion would be held back, but there's plenty other work to do and we want fast turnaround for user bug reports, so if a user is asked a question he/she can respond quickly with more details.
Moderation is a bad idea, right up there with C++ kernel modules, and splitting the source code into smaller tarballs. For some reason they all seem to get proposed again and again on a semi regular basis. If people would just read the archives.....
Just install a proper spam filter like everyone else.
