You've just reinvented TMDA, basically, except for the initial contact
protocol being HTTP instead of SMTP.  TMDA would also protect admins
of publically accessible lists (yes, I know that's basaqwards, Chuq,
but it would keep them from aliasing the list admin address to
/dev/null).  I was going to suggest that a couple days ago, but
assumed it was common knowledge here.

Jason could probably be very helpful in tuning it to this specific
application.
