It is also possible to enable new topics by email, but that's vulernable to impersonation (and spam) so if we enable that there probably will be a moderation step.
Email signed with OpenPGP/MIME solves the impersonation and spam problems. A message could be allowed to bypass the moderation after it's verified that it's signed with the correct public key for an email address registered in a Fedora account.
DKIM also seems able to assert that a message is from a certain sender address, although almost all usage I've seen states only a domain name.
But if those new topics can't be sent to a mailing-list-equivalent, but just end up in some sort of "other" bucket, then it seems useless anyway.
