Here is what lac ich does:

It's more than keeping an elaborate list of numbers, and neither they or the
world has ended.
So, this could be an easy start
Then Morecambe added, e.g no action against specific abuse types. (I very much
favour a well defined list, even if it will miss edge casses).
I think if the argument is, ripe should never do more than run a db, fighting
abuse will have to happen elsewhere.
I see ripe as a community that endures it stays nice.
So start with some simple things:
Verify folks reply.
Expand to action in specific casses.
If we agree on this we can start to work out the mechanics.
