Geeklog also comes with classes to read and write feeds in various
formats, so unless they are missing something for this project, you
wouldn't have to step down to that level.

Not sure what exactly this would add? The concept is called "web of
trust" for a reason - if you find someone adding useless rules, don't
use their feed.

The impact, e.g. during a massive spam wave, could be significant. For,
IMO, very little added value.
