I don't think you will need <list_name> and <list_name>-text with 
Mailman as it has the ability to convert HTML to plain text its self. 
People just need to choose their preference.

This is really an umbrella / regular list question, which is changing in 
Mailman 3, and might be better addressed there.  If you don't want to 
wait, look through the archives to see more information about "umbrella 
lists".
