Alternatively set up a list, say big_list, with subscribing and
unsubscribing closed, and do something like

 cat [source lists] | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]' | sort | uniq > big_list

I have a Makefile which does exactly that for some lists.  The config
for big_list has

 restrict_post = big_list_posters

which is maintained separately.
