...depending on the number of mails per day, the number of lists,
number of subdomains, number of subdomain admins, and how the admin
tasks are distributed between the site admins and the subdomain
admins.

This can be achieved by consequent usage of Mailman/Site.py -
basically concentrating all calls to os.path.join() in Mailman/Site.py.

Let me cite the comment from MM's 2.1.7 Mailman/Utils.py findtext()
function:
# When looking for a template in a specific language, there are 4 places
# that are searched, in this order:
#
# 1. the list-specific language directory
# lists/<listname>/<language>
#
# 2. the domain-specific language directory
# templates/<list.host_name>/<language>
#
# 3. the site-wide language directory
# templates/site/<language>
#
# 4. the global default language directory
# templates/<language>
Looks like your idea is already in place. :)
