Yeah, that can be more efficient.

Well, not a _lot_ more complex, I think.  We just need maps special
to each domain, and while I've never done it before, the examples
seem to me to suggest it's straightforward.  I think the trick would
be to design the postgresql.org site the same way as the hub site,
and then leave parts out on postgresql.org, rather than the other way
around.  It _is_ more complex, but with careful choices of
include-file names, it oughta be managable?  (Especially if we have
some documentation ;-)

We get a remarkable number of spam on the lists I moderate, at least,
and none of those are -general.
