And there's that word "automatically". There is nothing in the text that says
such arrangements have to be automatic.

I have the same problem with the text.  It says:

* IETF mailing lists MUST provide a mechanism for legitimate technical
participants to bypass moderation, challenge-response, or other techniques
that would interfere with a prompt technical debate on the mailing list
without requiring such participants to receive list traffic.

The stated requirement is that it must not "interfere with a prompt
technical debate". Clearly, that rules out anything requiring human
intervention.  What do you have in mind that would allow the
spammer^H^H^H^H^H^H^H participant to post without subscribing
and without interacting with a chair or list administrator?
