The only choice needed really is wether crossposts are automatically
deleted or do they need examining first.
Of course I could be being a little extreme here ;)

Back in the real world: I suppose its worth discussing what an
appropriate response to the FAQs that annoy Eli so much should be.
Converting them to an email response *most* of the time sounds
reasonable to me.

Last time retro moderation was discussed on a group I read it was still
a brand new idea. Are there any sources of information on groups already
using it?
