I have plans for rewriting the Hold/Moderate workflow so that you could do something like this much more easily. It's probably a MM3.0 thing.
I'm trying to extend the current workflow to allow training of false negatives when using spambayes as the filter, so I'm very interested to have some info on your plans :)
Very briefly: Thomas Wouters and I talked a bit about this at Pycon. What I think we want to do is to apply all the tests on a message and keep track of all the results. Right now, the first test match short-circuits the rest of the tests.
Once we've done that, then we want to have a way for a list admin to build a ruleset for how the tests should map into one of the following states: accept, hold, reject, discard, defer. Defer would mean to apply the next rule in the ruleset, while the others are terminal states.
When a held message is shown to the moderator, they get to (perhaps optionally) see the complete match results for the message. So you might see e.g. implicit-destination, non-member-post, max-size.
Spambayes filtering would simply be another test to apply.
