Summary: allow signed postings from non-subscribers

Initial Comment:
It would be great if Mailman could permit posting from
non-subscribers if the incoming message can be verified
based on a per-list or site-wide GPG keyring.

If per-list keyring could have a GPG key of the list
owner, who in turn can sign keys of people they trust
to post to the list.

Furthermore, such posters could subscribe by email
without needing to confirm.

Mailman has nothing to do with PGP.  It can allow messages to include 
certain MIME bodypart types which would include signatures, but that 
would not include having the server validate those signatures.

If you want tighter integration between Mailman and PGP, that's a 
separate matter, and should probably be a different RFE.
