fwiw, i also agree with the earlier commenters that the list's e-mail
address is the appropriate address for the list key's User ID. that's
what's used in every schleuder list that i've ever seen as well, fwiw.
In some future iteration, you may also want to bind
foo-requ...@example.net as an additional user ID (to the same key,
probably), but i don't think that will be relevant for this iteration.

larsi is also the mad genius responsible for most of gmane.org, for
