Since many of the lists are run by the secretariat, can you tell us a)
whether this script will be available for lists hosted at ietf.org and
b) how we might be able to run it without shell access?

there's a note in the script that says the author would like to have it run as a CGI, presenting an admin page with the default action tweaked rather than doing the action - that could be hosted at the secretariat, if someone coded that. Without that, it needs shell access, which the secretariat has traditionally been very reluctant to hand out.

If you have an Unix box with spamassassin installed, you don't need any special privilleges to run it against IETF lists - just set the URL and password as parameters, and you're golden.
(Anyone want to host that as a service?)

It depends on a running spamassassin installation, though.
