Yes, and if one does:
foreach ietfwgmailhost {
cd ~mailprogram/lists
cat | sort -u >>ietf-nomail
}
and take ietf-nomail as the "subscription list", then things work really
well. The list of people on all of the various WG lists may be 10,000
entries, but it is relatively well known. I run 50+ lists this way, and it
works very well.
See 3.13 of the majordomo FAQ.
This "list of lists", alas, would become a spammer/head-hunter target if
made too easily accessible, but we already have that problem. I would
certainly like to have this on ietf-censored :-)

Yes.
