... but that's not more helpful than not doing anything, because then
the submitter needs to submit again.  This creates a busy loop on which
submitter needs to watch status of his submitted news until it gets
approved.

I think the idea behind 72-hour auto-approve is that if it's obvious
spam someone will quickly reject it, and if it's not spam then it's not
worth rejecting.  I don't think this is very palatable either.
