Message topics are especially useful for generalist mailing lists that 
have big traffic. Let's say it is a CERT-type mailing list. List topics 
make it possible for list members to receive only messages that deal 
with certain topics (web servers because you are listmaster + openssl). 
It is the responsibility of the list owner to define the available 
topics. Then each message is tagged (automatically, by author or by 
moderator). List members can select their topics of interest via the 
"subscriber options".

Here is the related documentation :
