This is not true 'multiple addresses per person'. This is just a bunch
of addresses, some of which don't receive list mail. Mailman currently
has no way to know which if any of these addresses belong to the same
user.

The concept to be implemented in Mailman 3.0 is a separate user
database which has an entry per person with perhaps multiple email
addresses and various roles such as member of list1, owner of list2
and moderator of list3

For as many people who feel as you do, I'll wager that there are many
more who feel it is absolutely wrong to not archive a post to lista in
lista's archive just because it also was possibly archived in listb's
archive.
