Okay, I see your argument.


Just a random bikeshedding.  We might be able to require GPG signed
email to make a post.  Then we can blacklist the GPG identity?

To think of it further, the web of trust is basically a whitelist.  But
it has the flexibility to chain the trust from a Gentoo dev by several
'hops'.
