Moderators queue

[Nick Bebout]

Well maybe I'm actually -0.5. I don't like the idea, it's annoying  
when you send an email and then forget to set it as from the email you  
are subscribed with, plus, there might be other people that want to  
email the docs list.

I wonder how many of the 200 or so emails are spam and how many are  
real? Plus, how many emails do we manually approve through now?
