Yep, same here - I posted code for parsing a file format but got no feedback - not even a "no thanks, you suck".

partly the complete bias on this list to spam over useful content is part of it... Why isn't this list subscriber only. I can (just about) understand the users list being open, but the people posting to dev are motivated enough to subscribe. Also, the users list is swamped with spam to the point I question it's usefulness.

I was also shocked by the amount of spam on the list, and looking back at the archives its been like this a while. It can't be very helpful for BioPython's development.

I would second the call to make this list subscriber only.
And a third
