I'm going to go with "useful, but not useful enough to put major 
resources into implementing"

Maybe a nice in-between solution would be making sure the 
FAQ/Documentation had an entry saying "if you need to get an emergency 
message out and Mailman is not working, here's how to get the whole 
subscriber list and send a Bcc'ed mail"  Anyone want to volunteer to 
stick that in the wiki so people can find it in the future?

(Or just write up a quick definition and email me, and I can stick it in 
the wiki in the appropriate place.)
