Perhaps you have thought this through and want this handler before
Moderate, but I would put it after with either

  mlist.pipeline.insert(mlist.pipeline.index('Moderate')+1, 'MyHandler')

or

  mlist.pipeline.insert(mlist.pipeline.index('Hold'), 'MyHandler')

My thinking is that with MyHandler before Moderate, a non-member post
can be held for 'bad words' before list membership is checked. Then if
the moderator decides the bad words hold is a false positive or should
be passed anyway, she may approve the post without realizing it's from
a non-member. The approved post will then bypass membership checks.
