One that I've mostly retracted.

My central concern is that some users will be less likely to create
mailing lists because of the hassle or embarrassment.

Instead of *requiring* that mailing lists be set up by you, how about
just *offering* such a set up mailing lists as a service to users?
You can also tell them about "batch" priority mail. From my
experience, as a user, the service that you offer would be welcome by
many users. With such voluntary cooperation, your problems with user
mailing list would be reduced.
