This is a connected comment (and request for clarification) involving two of
the suggestions offered, and a third contribution on them:

This won't work for us; we're an international standards working group, and
have to allow some path by which outsiders can also offer comment.

You interest me strangely. Does this work the same way with 14.3? (From the
manuals, it looks as though it should, but I'd like to be clear on that
before I put my lists through the change.)

But it doesn't hold up subscribers' posts, unless they're set to REVIEW,
right?

Fortunately, this is just the level of defense I need. I want to review new
subscribers' first posts, unless they've been subscribed long enough that I
figure they aren't looking for an opportunity to spam us. (I generally
review that after one of our periodic storms of activity.)
