Motivation of an anonymous list:
Need of such a list is to focus on discussing facts and ideas irrespective
of a person's identity. As identities always come in between personal
views. For eg, social stigma may cause a person to accept an idea he/she
dosen't feel for or may not express what he/she feels is right.

In my opinion the requirements are:
1) Keeping list members anonymous from each other.
2) Not allowing any way out for revealing any one's identity except if the
user chooses to reveal it himself.
3) List admin knows everything going in the backstage, like who is who.

I have tried to analyze some possible use cases here
