You can do either. The 'standard' way to do it would be to define
DEFAULT_BAN_LIST = []
in Defaults.py (actually Defaults.py.in for a patch) and then put your
list
DEFAULT_BAN_LIST =['[EMAIL PROTECTED]',
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]']
in mm_cfg.py and put
self.ban_list = mm_cfg.DEFAULT_BAN_LIST
in MailList.py.

It only applies to subscription requests, and since 2.1.7, invitations,
subscription confirmations and changes of address.
However, the above changes will only initialize the ban_list for new
lists. You will still need to use config_list or whatever to update
existing lists.

Yes. This would have the addvantage of not requiring the various list's
ban_list to be updated with every change and seems a better solution
for your purpose.
I suggest however that the place to make this change is not
AddMember(), but GetBannedPattern().
