Speaking with two hats - I moderate the end2end-interest list, and it restricts
CFPs to one post calling for papers and one calling for participation - this is
feasible, but requires someone to continually moderate all posts to the list.
Right now, posts are monitored (after they're posted), but not moderated (before
they are posted).
It's not impossible to moderate a list of this size, but if this is of
sufficient interest, we'd also need someone to volunteer to do this (note - that
also means having a backup and/or not being offline for more than a 1-2 days in
a row).
