I believe you're wrong, but I'm not sure I've ever tried.  But on the
XFS list as a primary example I believe I've seen a lot of
non-subscribers posting and asking to be kept in copy of replies.

If so, that's how it works.  The linux-kernel mailing lists are not
closed.  Anyone can post an email to the list address, if it passes
the spam filter it will get forwarded to the subscribers.

The subscribers will do a reply-all and your thread is off to the
races without you subscribing.

Or let's say there is an ongoing thread on the SATA kernel mailing
list and they need to bring in a core developer that isn't subscribed
for some reason.

They can just add him or her to the TO: line and going forward they
should be kept in the loop for that thread.

Your not adding another list, your just adding a separate user.  I
usually add it to CC.  What we do not do, normally, is allow a
non-describer to post to a list, nor cross posting.  That is chaos at
best, and a relay hole for spam and worst.

It's a nice model for managing a large number of specialists mailing
lists.  No one wants to subscribe to all of them, but from time to
time people need to interact with the people on one of the specialist
email lists and don't want to have to
subscribe->participate->unsubscribe.
