Mailman will function as an NNTP client on behalf of a list in both
directions.

I would not do that.

Asymmetric paths are usually headaches to deal with.  For example, I
seem to recall that there were news clients that had a "post and mail"
operation.  Mailman does not deduplicate across messages (the
subscriber "no dups" setting is used to keep an explicitly addressed
subscriber in To or CC from receiving both a direct mail copy and the
list copy, not keeping Mailman from receiving and distributing the
same message twice), so in that case without a custom rule to
discard duplicate messages, Mailman might receive and distribute the
exact same message twice, once received via NNTP and once via LMTP.

Yes and yes,
