Gadi,
I think we could certainly do this, but we would need to carefully
vette the subscriptions to try to keep the more advanced spammers from
sneaking in.
Feel free to discuss this with me offline, if you like.

I often see addresses popping up and subscribing to all visible

Sometimes they're a curious individual, and most times they are
spammers harversting addresses (as these are open only to admin).
I wonder what the coding "price" would be, if it can even work with
mailman, to create a central trusted DB which watched subscription
trends?
1. It could be used for security.
2. It could fight spammers on the mailman front.
3. If we deal with the security and privacy implications of the
first two, or want a constructive cause--collect cool trends and
provide with a mailing lists index by tag words and activity. Think
technorati..
This of course, is just a neat idea. Thoughts?
Thanks,
Gadi.
