[bisq-network/proposals] Delist all crypto assets other than Bitcoin, Monero, and BSQ (#159)

I think this is the core issue here. Currently there is a judgment made on whether or not an asset should be added. This involves developer time without much payoff, and in the case of annoying token developers, even more developer time without much payoff.

Anyway, obviously, such judgments can be controversial. But maintainers are the ones who merge new assets based on this judgment, so in theory, any issues would be traced back to them. As a result, at this point (and however flawed), their judgments are the only ones that matter.

The only way to avoid this is to make it possible to list assets without maintainer involvement, as  alexej996 mentioned, so that maintainers cannot possibly be held responsible regardless of how great or crappy the asset is.

Until that happens, it only makes sense to limit asset listing as maintainers deem appropriate.

If that doesn't seem to align with the spirit of Bisq...well, lots of things didn't, until they did: arbitration, compensation, and a bunch of other things. Asset listing conventions is just be another one of those items.
