Personally, I wouldn't want to specify a list of people to bypass the 
throttling, as that would be seen as taking sides, but I could imagine 
some list admins seeing it as useful.

On the other hand, I could see a use for putting selected people on 
throttling, with everyone else by default off (as an alternative to 
putting someone on moderation).

The one address that I wouldn't want throttled would be my "official" 
address as list-admin, but it wouldn't have enough posts on it to 
trigger the limits anyway.
