I've been thinking that if we had a special mailing list just for
killing spams it might make life simpler. I seem to spend quite a bit of
time adding taboo entries to majordomo.cf, and it might help if these
were circulated in ready to copy-and-paste format.

It would be even simpler if the taboo files could be separated from
majordomo.cf, so that it would be easy to pipe the messages into a
program that would extract the entry lines and append them to the file,
perhaps after a quick syntax check. I don't know whether this has been
suggested as a 2.0 feature, but something like the include option in a
sendmail alias file would facilitate this while maintaining backwards
compatibility.
