Strongly agreed!

And actually, it wouldn't be all that difficult to implement if (a) we used
the 'Approved-By' header for this and (b) the mentor was able to edit raw
NNTP messages to add this header. That's really the only sticky bit on the
client side:

On the server side, I think it would be fairly straightforward to include
flags in the lookups for a person, saying whether they were:
- allowed to post freely anywhere
- restricted to/from certain groups
- on mentorship status to/from certain groups
and in the latter case, who to forward a post to via email before rejecting
it. We already have the first two flags, I'd just need to add the third one
and logic to handle it.
But better yet, I think, is your suggestion to queue up posts and let the
mentors browse and address them directly via the website -- clicking a Pass
or Fail button and being able to add comments. That avoids the whole messy
issue of the 'Approved-By' header. But that's also presumes the existence
of other things which aren't yet in.
