imho you're asking the wrong question ;-) _All_ network communication
should be encrypted, it is a pity that mail encryption is so little adopted.

No. The idea here that the recipient of a mail sent to a mailing list is
the (trusted) mailman server, thus the only key needed is the mailing
list public key. Mailman has access to its secret key, decrypts the
incoming message and re-encrypts it for each recipient.
