I'm not convinced that's necessary. Each list could have their
own approval password, and there is no technical reason why they would need to share that password with any other list.
That said, there may be operational reasons why you might end up
going down this road, such as people not being good at remembering large numbers of passwords.
Beyond that, I'm not sure that I can contribute much of anything
more to this discussion.
