  I don't yet have time to truly comment on those changes, but
they are a part way to what I have thought as being needed for
fluent list wrapup processor integration without a massive set
of  /etc/aliases -aliases..  (Actually my dream is a lot more
complex, but I am too tired to explain it now..)

Nothing prevents you from having BOTH mechanisms -- just have
separate directories for each set.

I have implemented the   mailserver@nic.funet.fi  as a
	$MAILSHARE/lists/mailserver
which contains essentially the pipeline to run the program.
I don't see why you could not do the same for things like
Majordomo.  Maybe you could ?
