It's an idea which has been floating around for many years, and as you've seen
there are tentative patches in that direction.

My own take on the matter is that I think it would be a very interesting and
useful feature, but I'm not in favor of adding this to Mailman 2.

If you're interested in pursuing this idea further, Mailman 3 is the place to
do so.  My own inclination is that most sites won't need this, so it should be
available as a plugin, with official/unofficial status conferred depending on
its stability, documentation, tests, copyright assignments, and general
usability.

This is exactly the right mailing list to discuss design and implementation of
such a feature for Mailman 3.
