While I can't address your question directly, I can say that this
isn't an issue. Just use ReiserFS or set your ext2/3 filesystems to
use dir_index. Either one will give you hashed directory lookups and
resolve this performance issue.
In general, I know that sourceforge.net uses Mailman for their lists.
The product gloss on the Realtime stats page claims 75,000+ projects.
Not sure how they manage them though.
