For now I made the list public to make it easier for me and everyone, but I could make it so that a new user needs to send a request before becoming a member and existing members can invite friends. I think that should at least stop the spammers.
As for signal to noise, I could make it invite only (how effective it would be, I am not sure). It would also have the side effect that newbies would be virtually excluded, which I see as a rather good thing. There are already many places for them elsewhere... Let me know what you think. Also, it would be good to have at least 2 people managing the list, so if something happens to me, you are not all out of luck :p Any volunteer(s) ?
