That would be pretty useful.

I support a number of community type lists that are (manually) organized as:

Community-as-a-Whole -- discussion list
  Community-Announcements -- moderated/"official announcements"

Readers subscribe to one or the other, not both (filtered stream vs. 
everything)

Posters send to only one - official announcements are moderated, approved 
ones go to both lists.

Reply-To policies vary, but a typical ssetup is always reply to discussion 
list.
