Seems like a unique mailbox per lastcall would be very helpful all around.
Right now, gathering and evaluating comments must be a nightmare. An
alternative, would be a single LC mailbox as suggested, but require EVERY
subject line to carry the last call ID, preferable in a form sensible to
current mail clients.
In the case of unique lists per lastcall, provide an opt-in metasubcribe
to make it easy for folks who generally want to follow last call
discussions to just be subscribed.
*AND* require subscribe to post ... no cute confirm reply to bypass. I
strongly believe that anyone who wants to provide feedback should want
to see the comments on their feed back. [If the cute confirm created
an automatic 48 hour subscription as per my next point, that would
work too.]
*AND* no unsubscribe or post only for 48 hours after initial subscription.
For real participants, this wouldn't be an issue and for email campaigns,
well they just need to experience the same disrruption their campaign
causes.

Not a bad idea. In fact, it may be useful to have a unique "list" per
draft, so every comment relating to a particular draft can be tracked
historically. This example is how I understand your suggestion:
ietf+housley-tls-authz-extns@xxxxxxxx will automatically be set up with
the initial ID submission. E-mails sent to it will be regarded as
discussion pertaining to the draft.
Individuals interested in following the draft may subscribe to that list
simply by sending an e-mail to it. (However, e-mails with simply the
word "subscribe" in the body or subject line won't be forwarded to
everyone.) They are also allowed to unsubscribe (perhaps following
the 48-hour waiting period of initial subscription as David suggested).
Note also that e-mails sent to ietf+draft-name@xxxxxxxx would not be
sent to the general list of ietf@xxxxxxxxx
I doubt this sort of functionality currently exists in Mailman, but
perhaps it could be implemented.
