I don't know much about ISO codes, so this question might be silly. But 
I'm quite sure that most of our users and contributors don't know either.

So I don't think it to be appropriate to differ between marketing and 
localization only by different ISO codes.

And probably there are similar codes for some areas: Assuming that DE is 
as well language and country code, I would not know if discuss@de.libO 
is a marketing or localization list.

Coming from the OOo project, I'd like to keep the discuss lists language 
based (with language ISO code), while marketing lists should use the the 
country code.

So I'd modify your examples to:
> discuss@nz.libreoffice.org would discuss marketing in New Zealand.
marketing@nz.libreoffice.org

> discuss@mri.libreoffice.org would discuss Māori localization issues.
stays the same
> discuss@glv.libreoffice.org would discuss Manx localization issues.
stays the same

> discuss@im.libreoffice.org would discuss marketing in the Isle of Manx.
marketing@im.libreoffice.org

This would lead to

marketing@us.libreoffice.org
for the US localized group, while general language dependent discussions 
would be stay on discuss@libreoffice.org (perhaps we should think about 
replacing it by discuss@en.libreoffice.org)

As I don't see much benefit from local marketing actions for the entire 
North American continent, I'd rather stick with names easily 
understandable. General marketing discussions should stay here of course.

Best regards
