While updating list settings in the mailman administrative
interface today, I noticed that the list of addresses we
can provide for non-subscribers allowed to post to the list
can include names of other mailing lists on the mailman
installation:

accept_these_nonmembers (privacy): List of non-member addresses whose postings 
should be automatically accepted.

Postings from any of these non-members will be automatically accepted with no 
further moderation applied. Add member addresses one per line; start the line 
with a ^ character to designate a regular expression match. A line consisting 
of the @ character followed by a list name specifies another Mailman list in 
this installation, all of whose member addresses will be accepted for this list.

Ideally we'd be able to do @* to allow cross posting between any
lists - does anyone know if that's possible or what the syntax
would be?

If not, what about making a autogenerated list, like the
core-contributors list, but which blocks all e-mails and
just exists to be added as @opensolaris-subscribers to
the other lists accept lists - the set of all opensolaris.org
account holders would probably be too large, but perhaps the
concatenation of all addresses subscribed to at least one
opensolaris.org mailing list would be workable?
