I disagree, philosophically.  Automatically reposting to different
primary publication channels smells of spam to me.

The interesting things to be done are in content aggregation (ie,
"smart pull" media), but Mailman is a "push" medium.

This is pure opinion; I don't at all expect everybody to agree, but I
wanted to express the point of view.
