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:

[e-mail] 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 [e-mail] would not be 
sent to the general list of [e-mail].

I doubt this sort of functionality currently exists in Mailman, but 
perhaps it could be implemented.
