My proposal to solve this issue but keeping everybody happy:

Two mailinglists: <wg>@ietf.org + full.<wg>@ietf.org

full.<wg>@ is completely open, anybody can post anything they want
though hopefully on topic on the subject of the workinggroup and of
course based on the source address having a subscription *1
full.<wg>@ is subscribed to <wg>@ thus full.wg gets everything
preserving, at least parts, of the freedom of speech that is wanted and
for the people who want to read a lot of mail everyday.

In fact this has been implemented at least once that I know of - on the DNSO GA mailing list. The "full" version had relatively few subscribers.

You can find the archives of that experiment at <http://www.dnso.org/dnso/gaarchives.html> - it's probably difficult to guess from the archives whether it was successful; better ask someone who was there at a time whether they think it worked.

Another variant is the ietf-censored version of the IETF list that I ran for a while, but left to others when becoming IETF chair - google claims that <http://vesuvio.ipv6.tilab.com/mailman/listinfo/ietf_censored> is a current page for it. Some people liked it; I don't know what filters are currently in place for it, but it doesn't seem to be working - archives have spam in them, but no IETF list traffic, so I guess it's not working.
