   It's actually very unusual to see this on technical/FOSS lists.  Some
   communities have secret and not-so-secret bans for individual users,
   but switching entire lists to pre-moderation is not something that
   I've seen often, not even during periods of intense conflict.

It is even more unusual for GNU lists, we have always eskewed
moderation.
