This is what I have done for many mailing lists.  —  I subscribe with 
one private address for email filtering and reply from another public 
email address.

I suggest that the member also pick one and toggle the option to hide 
(the non-public subscribed address) from other subscribers.

I don't see any obvious security related down sides to this.  It does 
open the mailing list up to messages (spam) from some additional 
addresses.  But I can't think of any cases where user@domain.tld would 
be different than user+detail@domain.tld.  I guess maybe some sort of 
ticketing system /might/ do something like that.  But I bet that the 
intersection between such configurations and Mailman configured as Mark 
is describing to be quite small.
