I'm getting *pretty annoyed* with a similar (but way worse) issue as well:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=810049
It's worse because there are way more spam comments and they get
amplified by the mails to the package-review lists as well ...
I was told to just mark comments as spam and by "magic" those accounts
will get banned.
Thing is, new accounts get created and just keep on posting spam.
The bug I linked had over 140 spam comments up until now, and like
you, I tried to mark them as spam and remove the spammer's email
addresses from the CC list, but to no avail.
We can block comments based on content, so if there are patterns in the
content we can have some impact here.
If you spot patterns you'd like added to the list please mail them to
the contact address.
