Now, I don't know who you are, so I can't really add you myself comfortably (without, e.g. a CC to a PMC). However, anyone else who is already on the list can add you by editing wiki.apache.org/general/LeoSimons/AdminGroup. Once your name is on that page, you too will be able to add people.
I guess this is a fair enough approach. Self organising community. Hmm.

However, is it wise to restrict who can police the wiki-spam? I don't want to be the lone guy among all the SpamAssassin wiki editors who can block a spammer.
It completely is necessary to restrict the page. Otherwise a spammer can remove his own site! As for a policy, I would have us add any committer who asks.
I've added you two, anyway.
