I take it this means you'd outright refuse to allow anyone who's
subscribed to one list to post to all the others automatically.

I really hate it when people cross post and I reply, only to have my
message bounced or queued or dropped to the list to which I'm not
subscribed.

Well, cross-posting is usually unwelcome most of the time, not to mention, many of the lists are configured to hold mail that has more than one explicit destination , e.g. cross-posts, anyway.

I suppose I could try to write a spam bot which auto subscribes me to
all lists for "no mail" such that I don't get bothered by this
problem. And maybe I should open source it when I'm done.

You should. I'm sure it would be quite popular in this crowd.
