It'd be impractical because you'd need to merge not only the people directly on the list as members, but also the people who get LKML as digest via Dell, as news, or via a mail exploder.

It may be very nice to ask confirmation for suspicious posts only. Filter can discriminate messages into:
1.Obvious spam: drop on the floor
2.Possible spam: ask sender to confirm
(with reason why robot thinks it may be a spam)
3.Not a spam: post without confirmation
This avoids problems with good messages being lost and does not require human admins to read the messages. --
