OK, I've already written some patches that allow this. I don't like them much but unfortunately I haven't got the time to play with fun stuff at the moment, I'm too busy doing boring stuff for the accounting department. The caveats are: it doesn't do anything other than IHAVE. If your upstream won't handle moderated articles then they'll go into the bitbucket. Probably silently (eg Cyclone). It uses a connection per user, there's no queueing of upstream articles. It seems to use quite a lot of CPU when articles are being posted. I'm definitely not sure about supplying a functionality patch to non open software without the developer having had a look at it. On the other hand, I'd really appreciate other people being able to fix and add to what I've done. I've sent the patches to Julian a while back but haven't heard back from him so I think he's probably busy (I know that feeling). Julian?
