The simplest way to do this manually is to use the
.mailrc file - one line would look like this:

    alias w3m "w3m-el list <emacs-w3m@namazu.org>"

It'll be manual but very quick. One stroke to bring up
a new empty mail, three strokes to write "w3m".

The .mailrc file is great for person-to-person mails
as well, and as an address book.

To do this automatically it can be done with the
gnus-mailing-list-* functions, perhaps with a bit of
tweaking (i.e., look how it is done, write your own
defun) - however this is all based on getting header
data from a present article (or mail). If there isn't
one, it won't work.

I suppose you could set up an association table
between what you call the lists as groups and their
addresses. Too much work for such a small gain,
I'd say.
