Is there a UI that I can use to edit the lists? The whole plustag thing seems tedious.

Yeah the plustag thing is really the advanced UI - if you click "List Members" on the bottom of any emails you get from fiesta (including the welcome email), you'll see the web UI.

Sounds a good concept. Can anyone send email to the created list or just the initial members? What if the list is already created / used by other people?

Only members of the list can send an email to the list - since the list names are tied to the sender's address you don't need to worry about uniqueness (ie. my family@fiesta.cc is different than your family@fiesta.cc)

Mailing list systems are complicated for a reason: the signup process where you have to send a confirmation mail is there to prevent users from unsolicted mails.

How are you going to solve the problem of unsolicted mail deployed through these autovivified mailing lists?
