Such cases wouldn't be dropped- just moderated, at least until/unless we
implement something to allow bypassing that moderation in some cases.

+1 for enabling it across the board and then we can keep an eye on it
and if it becomes a lot of effort for moderators or we end up with
things getting too delayed then we can always adjust either the lists
this is applied to, or have a mechanism/flag to allow certain posters to
bypass this particular moderation, or similar.

In addition, I would add this to: https://www.postgresql.org/list/

Tip #3: Choose the most appropriate list

Choose the most appropriate individual list for your question-
please do not cross-post between the mailing lists (unless there is a
specific reason, such as a confirmed bug reported on -bugs leading into
a discussion which is appropriate for -hackers).  Cross-posted emails
(ones where more than one list is included in the To or CC) will be
moderated and therefore will also take longer to reach subscribers.

(or something along those lines)

Lastly, let's make sure to notify all the moderators explicitly of the
change- I'm not sure if all of them follow -www.

Thanks,

Stephen
