Emphasize using verbs or participles to replace whitelist/blacklist
Languages other than English may not allow turning a noun into a verb with the same agility that English has. Some of them might not form compound words easily and resort to English loan words. In such a scenario, it would not be impossible for the translator to revert "allowlist" into a loan word based on "blacklist", because that's a more commonly known word to his audience of non-English speakers. This would make the effort to use inclusive language vain. Therefore, emphasize more the possibility to use not just the "-ed" form of verbs, but also the verbs themselves without the "list" suffix. Their past participles easily work as adjectives, and they are easily translated. Also propose "valid" and "invalid" as replacements for whitelisted/blacklisted as an adjective.
