Peter, you're right, it is just phishing spam. I had one yesterday too.
Probably everyone on the list has been or will be targeted.

Its attempt to fudge the From: address was pretty pathetic:

From: "SourceForge.net" <noti...@slashdotmedia.com>

If your MUA doesn't show both From addresses naturally, it's worth
discovering how to tickle it when dubious.
