Sounds OK.

See the box "Addresses of members accepted for posting..." on
the Privacy Options page.

See "send password reminders to e..g, "-owner" address" on the
General Options page.

I'd still like to take the simplest approach and make the list
open subscription. On say, gtk-devel-list, almost all the 
inappropriate posts (and there aren't many) are posted
by non-members anyways so they will be held for moderation
in any case.
