Even if we subscribe to many mailing lists, we could miss an important message.
The point 1 could not be easily handled using mailman.
The clever way would be to define the email address to members, only
to the specific thread. I don't think that mailman could do it, does
anyone knows sympa[1]? (I don't, but it has more features).
Or just hope that people won't just reply to the list but reply to all.

I personally set this rule (@fpo aliases on the white list) to
trans-fr mailing list.
