Description

The main purpose of this is to alleviate concerns about centralization / single point of failure etc. Since now this information is a state event in a space or a protected room or something that is to be decided, then you can have multiple mjolnirs synchronizing policies without conflict or need to make sure their account data are exactly the same. This also helps a little with migrating accounts.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by mapping where org.matrix.mjolnir.watched_lists is stored and consumed, then review the Matrix state-event proposal and the unresolved choice of space or protected room. Done requires an agreed design and working synchronization without conflicting policy data.
