Well, probably the WMF board has it's own closed mailing-list, as well as OTRS. But to be more precise, I'm not referring to mailing-lists set up for technical purposes, but to mailing-lists open to discussion for specific groups (like "pepole coming from Omicron Persei VII").

If WMF allow this there are 2 choices:
1. allow any request for mailing-lists (like the one for "pepole coming from Omicron Persei IX")

2. decide for every single request. This means set up a commitee that decides who can have a mailing-list and who can't, with all the subsequent discussions because some requests will be dismissed.

Especially in the second case, the WMF will discriminate on race, sex, religion, etc.
