In this case, you have a Bronze queue that people email (that's how we
do it).

However, I've implemented user specific overrides by creating a User
custom field and on ticket creation, if the user has the custom field
set, overriding the queue default SLA value. You could do similar things by
checking the requestor's groups for CFs rather than checking the
Requestor for CFs.
