Not true.  You can set up "topics" in recent versions of Mailman, and
people can subscribe to as many or as few of the topics of that list as
they want.

For instance, my "copilot-announce" mailing list has two topics - the
CoPilot program itself, and the waypoint generator that provides navaid
data for the program.  People only interested in hearing when the next
version of CoPilot is coming out or what features it will have can
subscribe to the "CoPilot" topic, and people interested in hearing when
I've applied the FAA 56 day updates can subscribe to the "Generator"
topic.
