obvious, but it never occurred to me.

I am mostly a lurker on this list, but thought I could chime in here.
There should be an option in the administrative interface that says, "Discard held messages older than this number of days. Use 0 for no automatic discarding." You could set that option to 3 or 5 days, which would allow list admins enough time to approve legitimate messages, but would also allow spam messages to just be deleted without any further interaction.
To check for legit messages, I normally get an email summary that says, "these messages are pending . . . " (or something similar), and I occasionally skim through it to see if there is anything that looks legit. If there is, I approve it. If not, I can just delete the summary email.
I've taken that approach with a medium-low traffic list that I help administer, and it has worked well.
