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 -
