If what you say is the case -- builtin support isn't terribly useful without the shared whitelist -- then maybe it does make sense to defer until a later Mailman version.

Some users will not want to use a shared whitelist, but in my experience, the vast majority will. I predict that if you add the feature without this sub-feature, it will become a nagging FAQ.

At its root its a privacy and entrance notification problem. Its not so much that the whitelist is private, but that entering it for discrete list populations is a hard edged and published (to the list owner or subscriber base) event, as distinct from the global whitelist.
