I hacked up the following function for this purpose:
(require 'bbdb-com)
(defun bbdb-append (string elidep)
"Append all entries in the BBDB matching the regexp STRING
in either the name(s), company, network address, or notes."
(interactive "sRegular Expression: \nP")
(let ((bbdb-elided-display (bbdb-grovel-elide-arg elidep))
(notes (cons '* string))
(bbdb-append t))
(bbdb-display-records
(bbdb-search (bbdb-records) string string string notes nil))))

P.S. You can also define mailing lists with BBDB, and use BBDB with mail
abbrevs to type in a long list of names.
