It seems to me that you could accomplish the same thing much easier by
simply setting up reminders at mysite.org as an alias that delivers to
both of your real addresses.  A mailing list seems like overkill for
the task.

Sure.  Check the Privacy options -> Sender filters page in the mailman
admin interface.
