Assuming stripped lists, and case insenstive localparts, I do something
like the following
tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]' list1 list2 ... list3 | sort -u > superlist
Something like this is run nightly from cron
superlist has it's own superlist.config for which subscriptions and
unsubscriptions are closed.
I don't have the actual script I use at hand, but something similar
to the above works well for me.

That wouldn't be good. An alternative would be to have a majordomo list
with the other lists subscribed to it. so superlist would be something
like
list1@site
list2@site
etc
superlist.config might have
restrict_post = list1 list2 ...
If that is the policy you want.
And owner-superlist would have to able able to post to each of list1, etc
But I do it the first way.

Relativism is the triumph of authority over truth, convention over justice.
