Why not adopt a scheme like the GNU mailing lists have, where for every
given email address, there is the possibility to white-list it once, and
then every other message from that email address doesn't have to be
approved again and again?  This would cut down the effort / time needed
for moderation for all the people that (more or less) regularely post to
libc-alpha.  These people know how to behave, so I don't see any
disadvantages.
