I send mail detected by Razor as spam to the spamtrap, which again reports it
as spam. Before I added the procmail rule to revoke (as my real life account)
Bugtraq messages that were flagged as spam, I manually revoked them as the
spamtrap (which keeps the last 32 messages sent to it). Thus the spamtrap
both reported as spam and revoked the same message. What happens to its trust

To be more precise, automatic reporting is a Good Thing only if there's
/zero/ possibility of reporting positives falsely (or as close to zero
as makes no difference in the end).
cmeclax's example (which incidentally points out a major vulnerability
of auto-reporting trollboxes) basically says "I'll blindly report as
spam whatever some other user(s) have reported as spam".  That "blindly"
part undermines the very purpose of Razor, so I too hope that:
