Looks like a very personal list. I would not advice anyone using this as part of anything. Rohith[1] is in India and most of the spam domains (did a quick split) in the list are similar sounding names of a lot of Indian companies/Startups. Not that the companies do not spam (they do) but emails/domain registration has become so easy that there are tiny setups/operations in every nook and corner of the streets/chawls/shanties of India trying to spam people.

You appear to be trying to argue against something, but it reads as "this is a lot of Indian stuff, which is chock-full of spammers". Read like that, it seems like the list is a good one.
Ah! I'm sorry if it came out wrong. However, I was trying to make an observation when I saw the list. You want to start optimizing your spam-block list or something like that and realized you are not typically the target. You might end up looking and scouting to hit something that never came your way.

My email(s) on my own domains has been on the Internet for more than two decades and I'm always happy to look at ways to prevent spam on them.
