Accept senders from another list(s)

Bug Description

I'd like to specify that List A is to accept postings
from List B and List C.

Example: List A is an open discussion group, and List B
is a senior manager's group. The managers might not
subscribe to the discussion (for lack of time) but they
need to be able to post announcements.

Indirect reference to another list would be better than
the existing facility to add individual addresses to
the approved list. When a manager comes or goes or
changes email address, his access to List A would
automatically follow his status on List B, without
administrator action.

Indirect reference to another list is better than
asking the managers to subscribe to List A but disable
mail delivery, because they won't remember to update
their List A subscriptions.

I think this does what you want. It is a candidate for
inclusion in Mailman 2.2.
