I would be okay with them if the person mailing introduced it with a
sentence or two why they believe it to be specifically interesting for the
Wikidata community.
I agree.
The Wikidata community also can't benefit from those publications unless
they're made (libre) open access, so I think it would be fair to require
that the announcements include a mention or link clearly showing that
all the papers will be OA (preferably) or explaining how the authors can
archive them (for free) under a free license (libre green OA) à la:
https://www.coalition-s.org/rights-retention-strategy/
https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/How_to_make_your_own_work_open_access
From a search <https://link.lens.org/AFeru5oPGdg> it's easy to find
good and bad examples. Bad is e.g.
<https://www.elsevier.com/journals/journal-of-web-semantics/1570-8268/guide-for-authors>
(claims embargos and all sorts of restrictions), rather good is e.g.
<https://aclanthology.org/venues/emnlp/>
(<https://aclanthology.org/faq/> states CC-BY).
Recently I've started nudging frequent posters who neglect to explain
how a CfP is relevant to the list. Most do not respond, so in practice
the only option is placing them on moderation.
If there are no objections, I'd also like to experiment with Mailman
topics. We could place all obvious CfP in their own topic, and
subscribers would then be able to set their preferences to not receive
them. A more drastic alternative would be to discard all such messages
as spam, but that might end up having quite some collateral damage.
