No, it isn't. It is a Mediator. See RFC 5598.
The description of what a Mediator might do is not incompatible with
also viewing it as having characteristics of a publisher:
5.3 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5598#section-5.3>. Mailing Lists
...
In addition to sending the new message to a potentially large number
of new Recipients, the Mailing List can modify content, for example,
by deleting attachments, converting the format, and adding list-
specific comments.
Note that in terms of email transport, it is posting a new message.
Mediators really have complete freedom to do whatever they want. If
describing the full range of what a publisher might do, it would cover
the same range.
But typical mediators are trying to maintain a sense and ability for the
original author and the final recipient to experience an end-to-end
message exchange. The degree to which the mediator asserts itself more
visibly to the recipient is probably the degree to which it looks more
like a publisher and less like a simple relaying service.
