I have actually solved a similar problem already as part of a different
project (bugbot). We associate a set of additional addresses with a thread and
can send any thread updates to those addresses.

It would require a bit more effort to adapt it so we properly handle bounces,
but effectively this does what you're asking about -- replies sent to a thread
will be sent out to all addresses we've associated with that thread (via
get_maintainer.pl). In a sense, this will create a miniature pseudo-mailing
list per each thread with its own set of subscribers.

I just need to make sure this doesn't fall over once we are hitting
LKML-levels of activity.
