Can you elaborate on this? Who maintains the list and how does one end up on it?

It's not an actual list. There's no GDoc that gets shared around or anything. People talk to people. Folks who used to work together who kept in touch sometimes give each other "a friendly heads-up - that guy at the protest? He's getting fired. Don't hire him." Then e-mails to recruiting addresses get deleted or a resume' gets dumped in the recycling bin, and that's that.

It's the same back channels on LinkedIn and Skype chat groups (yes, they're still a thing) that are used to organize parties at RSA and shit like that.
