There's a location on Meta where these things are decided; I don't think adding something to that blacklist requires authorization from the board.
This is a different type of blacklist. The spam blacklist which can be edited by any meta admin only applies to URLs. The regex blacklist applies to any text, whether in URL format or not. On 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.
It is possible to open this up to meta admins via Wikia's RegexBlock extension - http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/SpamRegex/
