Well I do manually add people which are allowed to (well, gnupg key_id
in fact) in the config file of the Perl proggy which I use for that.

I agree it works only with a small amount of people. For now I do trust
the ones which I give access to. But when you do add a spam (domain or
user@domain.com or IP for rbl) it sends an empty message on a list where
anyone can subscribe, with a short subject like :

[domain:microsoft.com:add] from fabien penso <penso@linuxfr.org>

So anyone can see what happens, and eventually remove the command with
something like : [domain:microsoft.com:del] in the subject. So anyone
can see what happens, and allowed people can send command. For now it
works great.
