So the receiving MTA, sees messages with List-id: headers in direction to

you have subscribed to the mailing list...
1) as Murray says, It can infer it has to deliver (or not) the email based
on other participants reputation to build a list reputation? side note: do
mail receivers treat mailing list differently than any other emails?
Yes, it is auto white listed for acceptance. In other words, when the
client issues:
RCPT TO: <list-name @ list-host.com>
it will checked as an normal user (alias) and accepted.
2) do we need a mechanism to alert the receiving MTA that you
have subscribed to a mailing list, and all messages should pass
through?
Normally, once it accepted (1st question via RCPT TO:), then the mail
is pass to a list server and it will check for member subscription.
I guess if the RECEIVER is a List Server SMTP Server, then its
database will be easily accessible to do a member check at SMTP level.
