I had already proposed something similar:
- a list of friends;
- a blacklist;
or something like that, in order to be able to get out of no-answer mode, without
having to jump to the computer to find out some testing newbie called...

More precisely, being able to create various lists ("friends", "family", "other",
"lamers"), and decide for each list if I'm in no-answer or ring-me mode, would be good.

PS: I have nothing against helping newbies to configure/test their gm, it's just
that I want to choose when I do so, and when I don't...
