I wasn't considering cc: lists at all, there isn't really anything to
actually link to in those cases. I was only thinking of the sorts of
mailing lists like cyberstalking or wpinvestigations, which had a
mailman server and such.

"Enforcement" probably wouldn't be a hard and fast thing either, if it
were simply accepted and customary that any mailing lists where
Wikipedia's the topic of discussion got listed there I imagine most
would wind up being listed there by someone or another.
