All lists are now (by default) so that outsider messages are held for
moderation. If the number of such messages grows to non-trivial
numbers, there should be a moderator from the groups themselves, like
the coordinator.

Perhaps it could be left up to the coordinators to decide if that's
what's wanted - the alternatives are discarding such messages or
letting them through automatically.
