In your example I see the issue of understanding where the solution begins.

Yes, we can say it doesn't work because emails are not delivered to someone. So it's better for mailman not to accept EAI addresses. In other words, why do we need EAI in mailman?

Or mailman can use two email addresses per user (EAI and ASCII alias) to deliver all messages. Or, mailman can check EAI capabilities of certain email address at the registering stage, and forbids them to register if they are not EAI ready. Hey, now it's forbidden for EAI addresses, and no one makes a problem.

And for managing mailman: as list admin, with different "mother script" than ASCII, I do a decent job managing mailman. Why wouldn't I do the same for any script? Like my situation: Cyrillic is my script, I recognize Latin and Greek alphabet well, and my list would be full of those 3 scripts - people on my current list from South Eastern Europe would be using those scripts and there's no single problem in managing them.

My two cents

I don't understand how that could work. Let's say a list has four
subscribers E1, E2, A1, A2, where E1 and E2 are EAI addresses and A1 and
A2 are ASCII addresses on ASCII-only systems.

Subscriber E1 sends a message to the list. Sending it to E1 and E2 works,
but sending to A1 and A2 will fail since they don't accept EAI mail. What
does your system do?
