I prefer the benevolent dictator approach, where I get to choose and
to ignore the dictators of my choice.  I have never met any of the
list maintainers.  For all intents and purposes they could be
anonymous user 3948539 or some such unknown to me.  What is important
is the trust that is developed.  If they cryptographically signed
their lists and put them on a P2P I would be able to verify it was the
same user I had been trusting all along and to use those lists.  Being
P2P it would not matter where I got it from.  Being P2P it would make
it almost impossible to shutdown.

So many projects.  So little time...  I am in the same situation.
