This is pretty interesting point, but then i'm personally not really interested in having any control over the actual blacklist. I'd feel plenty comfortable with just insight into what is blacklisted, for what reason and if possible some evidence to support this reason. Giving control to "the people" isn't always a good thing either as even in TOR circles there'd be people that can't deal with having power on any level. Transparency is probably the word I was looking for to use.
I didn't fill in contact information on my fresh tor relay simply because the app I use doesn't allow me to. (my tor relay runs on an Ouya, therefore android) Regardless of the absence of contact information the reason I run the relay are in line with the reasons why TOR exists.
