It works exactly as you described. ;)

Sup doesn't actually maintain the "C" list anywhere. It consists of
contacts.txt, the list returned from extra-contact-addresses hook and
other contacts extracted from the mails sup has recently indexed. You
can load more (older) extracted contacts by hitting "M" when viewing
the contacts list.

Partially. You can highlight them, hit "i" (and optionally give
completion alias and fix real name) and sup adds them to contacts.txt.

Because you don't want all the (rubbish) addresses with all the
(rubbish) realnames floating around bloating your contacts. You want
sup to be able to parse contacts out of mails, present them (the
"persistent" and latest new) nicely to you and let you cherry-pick the
contacts you want to "persist".

I don't know how it is supposed to work, but I do have mailinglists in
my contacts.txt like this:
list-alias: person1-alias, person2-alias
person1-alias: Person One <person.one@invalid>
person2-alias: Person Two <person.two@invalid>
It has the added bonus of the people in the list being available for
autocompletion one by one too.
