If I understand the scoring syntax correctly, you might do the following
(everything behind % signs is a comment)

        % We want this to apply only to the group dc.general
        [dc.general]

        % Ignore basically everything. That means assign a score of
        % -9999 to postings that match the regex *
        Score: -9999
                Subject: *

        % However, there are some persons you'd like to read.
        % I assign their postings a normal score and, by using the
        % = operator, make sure the score stays that way.
        % By using a double colon, I make this rule valid for 
        % all the following conditions (i.e. I don't have to
        % write the rule again for each poster).
        Score:: =0

Be aware, however, that this is untested! But I hope that helps...
