  There is, in fact, methods built into the website already where anybody with 
an opendesktop.org account can report both spam and malicious content. It 
would be quite useful to have that information spread around a bit, yes :) 
Specifically, this is done by clicking the report links in the Details panel 
(see screenshot), and the reports are then handled by the opendesktop.org 
team.
  If you mean something which they've found that needs the moderation team to 
look at it, then no, there isn't anything yet, But we ought to be able to put 
a way together to just flag items for the moderation team's interest, because 
yes, that certainly would be handy :)

  That community involvement is the entire point of opendesktop.org :D
