Having looked at that very briefly, there seems to be no consideration
that this was all done once before, for Usenet. Has anyone looked at
how those issues were resolved there? (FWIW, my impression was
"mostly, they weren't". I have pretty serious doubts you're going to
do better. Why do these two completely different styles of
interaction need to be merged anyway? I think adding forum traffic to
the mailing list will be yet another way to make the lists less
useful.)
