Mailman supports the notion of holding a message for the review of the list 
moderator; in your case, apparently, Mailman was calling SpamAssassin and this 
triggered the message you received.  A diff of text containing SGML markup 
probably looks a lot like obfuscated HTML SPAM to SpamAssassin.  :-)

I believe your original post got through to the list-- meaning that the (a?) 
moderator approved your message-- but in the meantime you received an automated 
warning from Mailman, letting you know that there was a delay.  This is how the 
system is supposed to work, at least in the sense that the behavior is Mailman's 
typical default list settings.  Should something be changed?

[ Perhaps someone should whitelist people at FreeBSD.org and/or train the 
SpamAssassin filter about diffs. ]
