Google feedproxy redirector abuse

I've been seeing pill spam with lots of identical URIs pointing at
feedproxy.google.com over the last week or two. All the URI's seem to be
this (leading http slash slash removed):

feedproxy.google.com/~r/CraigslistHoustonAllForSale/WantedSearchquothealthquot/~3/3yX2enlGlyE/

I've no idea where to report this. Going to the root of Google's site
reveals no abuse report links.

Can't help with reporting it to goog, but this has been in my sandbox for
a bit. It might help:

rawbody __FEEDPROXY m;http://feedproxy\.google\.com/;
tflags __FEEDPROXY multiple
meta MANY_GOOG_PROXY __FEEDPROXY > 5
describe MANY_GOOG_PROXY Many Google feedproxy URIs

It has to be a rawbody rule because uri rules collapse multiple hits on
the same URI.

Got one with exactly 5 today. Looks like they're learning.
