#4Author here: In developing this I discovered that Twitter really doesn't care about lists. The limits on API usage and aggressive following are well documented, but anything about lists is minor.
Also, if anyone from Twitter is reading: it would be nice if Twitter implemented a way to subscribe to someone's timeline instead of having to resort to this method.

You might be thinking of a similar hack someone made for Instagram. Instagram ended up shutting it down.

#8Do these lists to default to Private or Public? Want to experiment with this but don't want to send out notifications (if that applies here).

You're not. There was a little button on profile pages that did exactly this. I remember them removing it in a hurry when people took notice.
