Have you looked at the digest option? In essence, instead of receiving
every post individually (and in real time), you can configure your
subscription to send you a single email with all the accumulated posts
once in a while. You can enable digest for your subscription here:

I took a look and there doesn't seem to be an easy way to add this
support in mailman (it is on their TODO list).

Also, my problem with an RSS feed of a mailing list is that there is
no easy way to reply to a post. Before you could have written a quick
reply to a question you know the answer to because it is so easy. With
RSS you probably won't bother.

If you still want an RSS feed, then I think the best option is to add
odb-users to gmane.org, which provides all kinds of RSS feeds for the
mailing lists it tracks.

Yes, the two provide the same information and the RSS feed is hand-
maintained. This works well because odb-announcements is a read-only
mailing list.
