I disagree.  The clear majority wish for this setting would be "hell 
no".  None of the people who pay me for service want this.  YMMV.

It is not even close.  No one I have talked to outside of a few on this 
list think that this is a good idea.  And if we allow a vote per list, the 
only vote that counts, most likely, is queernet, since they have so many 
lists and they have strict privacy guidelines that would most likely 
disallow this for the vast majority of their lists.
