I figured out the answer to my question.

In case anyone might come to this mailing list some
day and wants to know how I solved my problem, here
is how I did so ...

I can implement item #2 in my list below by means of
an "incoming" filter. I created a "holdlist" file to contain
match patterns for the set of addresses that I want to
automatically put into a pending state, and I put the
following rule into my incoming filter ...

from-file ~/.tmda/lists/holdlist hold

Now, I have succcessfully implemented all three items
in my list.
