Thats a good case for restricting this to the smaller set of lists which will
cover most submissions anyways.  With a smaller set we could make the UX still
work without presenting an incredibly long list.

Or, the most recent emails dropdown only cover a set of common lists but
a search will scan all lists?

Without any supporting evidence to back it up, my gut feeling tells me the most
recent mails list is a good/simple way to lower the bar for submissions.
