Mailman's umbrella list feature, warts and all, is available in Mailman 2.1.9. Search the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3> for "umbrella" for more information.
Do I need to run some patch?
No.

"warts and all"
What do you mean? I have read the FAQ, but not what you mean.

Quoting from dictionary.com
wart [...] 3. any unattractive detrimental feature or aspect: /The biography presents the full story of the prime minister's political career, warts and all/.
In this case, the unattractiveness is if a list is set as an umbrella with other lists as members, and there are people who are members of multiple sub-lists, they will receive duplicates of posts to the umbrella, one for each sub-list of which they are a member.
Also, if you set a list to be an umbrella (General Options -> umbrella_list = Yes), the only thing that does is assume that all members of that list are other lists so that administrative notices such as password reminders from that list for a member whose address is sublist@example.com will be sent to sublist-owner@example.com so there can be issues with lists which have both individuals and other lists as members.
That is what I meant by "warts and all".
