Unless anyone disagrees (and please do voice it), I intend to leave this as is and move on to a different piece of work.

On one hand, my implementation is not great as discussed above. There's no point in using the DB when we don't need a web interface. A static file would have sufficed and would probably be more performant.

On the other hand, the feature is already in use. Admins have added lists of phrases to the DB, and these are being used for spam scoring as I write these lines. Let's wait and see how this works out. Perhaps it's completely useless and we decide we may as well scrap the whole feature. Or perhaps we think it's successful, and then we can look into potential improvements, which may include moving to in-memory data.

Additionally, I experimented a bit with our Chef config, to see what it would take to get this working with a "data bag", etc. I cannot get the thing to run (issue filed at https://github.com/openstreetmap/chef/issues/816), so that would delay me even longer. I don't think it's worth it at this time.
