Yes, they're really annoying for the archieve. The easiest solvation would be move to Google Groups. It's quite nice and you have as the same feature as a mailingslist. The other solvation would be you have to register to the mailingslist to post on it.

Disabling posting for non-subscribers only shouldn't be too hard. Also,
there should be some additional anti-spam measures, such as
SpamAssassin.

NACK on Google Groups. Their anti-spam measures are weak and
just recently I've heard of issues with their moderation notifications
not getting through (on the perlbal/mogilefs groups), so new posters
got silently ignored for a long time.
I also dislike user tracking/profiling done by Google, and it's
gotten worse now they're doing G+.

Subscribers-only tends to isolate developers from users that
_occassionally_ find issues. The git-ML (and LKML) culture favors lists
that allow unsubscribed users to post, and I think this does a lot to
encourage users to get involved.
SpamAssassin is great. I use it on my own server, so it manages to
catch much of the spam that comes to this list. Some spam will always
get through, but that's email.

How about trying to upstream cgit into git itself?
I know they have gitweb but it seems that cgit is used more often.
Worth the try?

I've disabled posting for non-subscribers for now.
