Those changes lists are usually without any manual interaction. Unless
someone objects I would create this list similiar to the other -changes
lists.

Our moderation method currently allows either moderation via keyring (bi it
developers/dms or a custom keyring) or classic moderation, but not a
combination of both. I/we can implement such a combination, but that needs
testing and time. If you want this list soon, I would recommend to stick to
one of the traditional methods (Moderators or a keyring).
