If you are willing to experiment, I've made a patch available
that adds this capability.  You can specify '@listb' in the
'accept_these_nonmembers' field of lista to allow members of
listb to post to lista.  (A leading '@' is taken to introduce
a second list's name.  Avoid making lista depend on listb and
at the same time listb depend on lista.)

This has been very lightly tested on a low volume server over
the past couple of days, but it hasn't broken in an obvious way
yet.  You are welcome to try it and report problems (or
successes).
