From the Mailman side of thing, I imagine the 'easy' way of emulating
this is to have an announce only list, for all members (with bounce
processing etc disabled).
I think most Y! groups subscribers would use "special annoucements
only" for lists too noisy for them, but still want to hear about
important things.

The sync_members script (and cron) might be useful here…
