I still think feeding the lists to a dedicated news server could be the cleanest approach to providing a way to read the messages by list in a threaded manner. Either the groups could be read-only, or (my preference, since I'd rather not use an email interface for something like this) they could be auto-moderated (must be able to be associated with a registered email address), or else the server could require authentication (with one's os.o account and password, I suppose).
That would IMO be a lot cleaner, and more scalable (even a wimpy news server can probably handle more messages per day than the opensolaris.org lists are ever likely to see). And with reasonably fast clients that can be configured to cache headers (I like knews, myself), it can be much better performing for people with relatively slow network access (which could be common with worldwide participation). Or if enough folks can't resist the temptation to post HTML, Thunderbird or Mozilla would probably be ok too.
