------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you do want to have the rules visible for collaboration, but not used for automatic mass-checks or promotion, that could be done by just keeping them in a file that doesn't end in ".cf". (SpamAssassin's standard is that they have to end in ".cf" to be considered valid rules files.)

* S/O ratio of 0.95 or greater (or 0.05 or less for nice rules)
* > 0.25% of target type hit (e.g. spam for non-nice rules)
* < 1.00% of non-target type hit (e.g. ham for non-nice rules)

+ These numbers are really just ball-park figures and should be fine-tuned as we go. (DuncanFindlay)

We can automate those criteria pretty easily. We can also vote for rules that don't pass those criteria, but we think should be put into core for some reason.
