IEEE 802.11 / 802.15 meetings have solved this by attaching a helium
ballon to their equivalent of the blue sheets. That way everyone can
see where they are and if they have gotten hung up. Due to scaling
problems, they are planning to change to using bar codes.

Adding people from a BoF blue sheet to the activities mailing list is
fine as long as you announce you are going to do that and allow people
at the BoF to opt out, which is how I've seen it done.
