Second, I pledge to log in at least once per day, weekdays, to process all the remainders. (Possibly the list will be made unmoderated on the weekends? Or the approvers can be more generous on the weekends.) Third, any post that I reject will give the poster the option of INSISTING that it be published as-is, subject only to whatever legal liability I might face if it's really awful (like a death threat). Fourth, wikipedia-l will remain unmoderated, so anyone who feels that I've been cruel can squawk about it over there, unhindered. Do those safeguards address your concerns sufficiently?
