I'd also like such kind of automatic moderation which Dave is proposing.
And I agree that automatic unmuting is a no-go. The next speaker could 
however receive an invitation (text message) to unmute her:himself.

Ideally the forwarding would be controlled by a pluggable algorithm: The 
algorithm would signal the SFU which stream to forward. And the op would 
be able to set the initial algo and choose a different one later. The 
algo also would be able to send text messages to individual or all 
users. Maybe the algo could be reduced to some elementary syntax that 
could be described by a json-config file. Then for each algo that is 
wanted the server admin could provide such a forwarding control file 
that the ops can choose for their sessions.

Just some not well-thought-out ideas ...
