While on the topic of topics ... ;-)

I implemented a hack in my LDA to search the body of messages for specific keywords.  When one (or more) of the keywords is found, it adds a specific value to the Topics: header.

Actually, as I note in another post, the header is Keywords:, not Topics:. That was my error.

This way, posters don't have to worry about defining the topics before they hit send.  It also allows me to be more granular and flexible at the same time.  I can create an "email" topic that will match on Mailman, Sendmail, Microsoft Exchange, GroupWise, etc.  (Sure, there's a little wiggle room in the pattern matching and logic.)

This has largely worked out very well for the lists that I've applied it to.

The Systers have a feature called "dynamic sublists" which automatically creates subscribable threads, with more user control than topics provide.

OK, I guess you probably don't need them, then, but maybe somebody else. (No, I never got around to pulling it; the Systers fork has quite a bit organization-specific cruft in it that doesn't belong in Mailman. If there's interest ....)
