Honestly, I don't love this idea. I would be technically feasible with
VERP, but it edges into features that are very popular for people
sending spam.

How about having personalized announcement mailing lists ?
A personalized mailing list will allow mailman users to send
personalized emails to all the list members from a common email
template. Suppose I am the manager of a company and I need to ask all
the workers for a meeting. I want each of my workers to prepare a topic
to speak on during the meeting. For this I need to send each of them a
message separately mentioning the topic he/she has to speak on.
Suppose the email /template/ is like this:
*To : <worker-email>*
*Subject: <sub>*
*
*
*Hello <worker-name>,*
*
*
*Hope you are having fun at <worker-place>. I am arranging a meeting at
5 p.m. on Saturday. I want you to speak on <topic> during the meeting.
So, come prepared for that.*
*<other-suff>*
*
*
*Best wishes,*
*
*
*Ankush Sharma*
*Manager*
*foo-bar*
And I have a spreadsheet data on the mailing list server like this:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cAbdSmc1NA-C9IZFjc_zB67qEvgmX8Jr3xYyGxPdwdU/pubhtml
Mailman can have a functionality of flooding the /template/ by using the
spreadsheet data. The variables in the /template/ (< -- > stuff) would
be replaced by the corresponding row data in the spreadsheet
corresponding to the emails of the list members. This can provide great
flexibility to mailman users who use mailman as announcement list.
Later on, mailman can have the functionality of saving email templates
and choosing one of them in a certain scenario. Mailing lists can be
made more personalized and powerful in this way.
Expecting further feedback or suggestions on this idea.
