first of all, please reply private as I am not subscribed to the list. But if this question takes to much traffic I can subscribe. the problem with non members is that some server in the path may discard or bounce our mail, and they won't get it.
I cannot follow completely. What is the difference if the mail is manually approved than that the people is member of the list?
the problem is not posting to the list. As long as you get the CC, it's ok. I only meant that it is possible that you don't receive an offlist message, for example because some server or gateway on your side uses a blocklist or play "discard me" games. I've already got bounces in such cases (when I post via my home ISP) and this doesn't get me in a good mood:)

Ah, that's true for well formed mailing lists like made with mailman or majordomo. But there are many mailing lists out in the wild where you have no other change than the "plussed" address to select them out. (The example might be unclear as the gimp-devel list is well formed.
then you'll need to find such an example :)
The following seems to work for every list I've seen (by order of my personal preferences):
- List-Id
- List-Post
- List-Owner
- Sender
- Return-Path
- To or Cc
