I think this idea has been considered before. I (still) think this
makes sense. A more interesting question is what to do with:
toplist-owner: foo
toplist: midlist1, midlist2
midlist1-owner: bar
midlist1: a, b, c, d, e
midlist2-owner: baz
midlist2: x, y, z, w, t
If mail delivery to "x" fails for a message addressed to "toplist", should
the bounce notice go to "foo" or "baz". The latter potentially involvles
forking off lots of copies of the message, one for each sub-list, so
there is some incentive to leave the "owner" alone, if one is already set.
