For the latter part, YACSmoke already does this with the exclude-dists config setting. At the time of writing it did cross my mind to write exclude-authors, but I didn't think it would be of much value. YACSmoke uses an INI file format, which if reused here, could allow for a drop in place file and then YACSmoke could have an added configuration of 'skipfile' that would load these entries as the base settings. YACSmoke could even potentially auto update the skipfile if connected to the internet. I'm currently working on YACSmoke, and so far completed the abstraction of the CPANPLUS bridge to a plugin. I shall be looking at a bridge to CPAN/CPAN-Reporter shortly, and then rebuilding a test suite, so now is an ideal time to revisit the configuration settings. As to where to put it, as long as authors themselves have access to update only their own entries, with the ability to suggest wildcards to admins, then something that hooks into PAUSE would be good.
