Should I provide an option to combine both of these options into one ? Or
an option to use any one of the two throttlings?

Yes, since we will make changes in the msg metadata so now we will not
require database 2, database 1 will be required for counting post on
threads, also, whether the threads are same or not will be decided
according to the subject header.
For a subject header "abc" we consider the following subjects as the same:
Re: abc
Fwd: abc
abc
We will strip the prefixes Re, Fwd off before adding them to database 1.

Also I had to ask, would it be good if we provide the list-admin with an
option to bypass this throttling for some people? Like the
mailman-developers in this case, we may allow few mailman developers
bypass this throttling effect and those developers will be decided by the
list-admin.
