This is a different type of blacklist. The spam
blacklist which
can be edited by any meta admin only applies to URLs. The regex

Wikimedia, I believe only people with server access could edit
that, but that doesn't mean it was an official Wikimedia
decision. The majority of people with server access are not
Wikimedia employees.
So who are they accountable to, no one? Isn't obviously
problematic that people can unilaterally make such major decisions
with neither the request of the foundation nor the community?
Yes.
