* Neal H. Walfield:

The basic idea is to publish the list of subscribes as an OpenPGP
message.  Concretely:

  To create a mailing list, the mailing list administrator generates a
  new key pair in the usual way.

  Associated with the key pair is a list of encryption keys
  (Public-Key Packet, tag 6, or Public-Subkey Packet, tag 14).  Each
  key may optionally be preceded by a user id (User ID packet, tag
  13).  This list is stored in a signature subpacket with a new
  subpacket type.

An existing implementation of this feature uses signature subpacket 10
to specify fingerprints of additional keys to which messages shall be
encrypted, in addition to the user-specified key.  It was rejected for
IETF standardization.
