Well, you would always have people who just want everything and do filtering 
client side (I don't want to subscribe to another mailing list if I want to 
monitor a module for a week)

So your 'cut down on resources' is just not correct. The machine would have to 
sent the email twice at least.

Again; if you have a procmail on the machine that does the mailing list it
could very easily do the forwarding for you.
This is not something the CVS server should decide, this is something the 
mail server should do, simply because of who does what maintainance.

I have this solution implemented in my company on the mailbox, and I am sure 
I am not the only one who can create the procmail entries for this.

The only thing worse than failure is the fear of trying something new
