I'm really just an outside observer here, but it seems to me that in
this thread you (aaryan) are getting way ahead of yourself. I know you
are interested in this as a GSOC project, but it seems to me you should
be focusing on your GSOC proposal and getting accepted before you start
worrying about implementation details.

Yes, a user can. A user can have multiple email addresses, say
u...@example.com, u...@example.net and u...@other.example.org, but
possibly many more.

These addresses can be subscribed to multiple lists with multiple roles
and settings. For example, u...@example.com is owner of list1 and digest
member of list2. u...@example.net is regular member of list1 and list2
and u...@other.example.org is a digest member of list2.

This would not be common, but it is allowable and it might not be
uncommon for a user to have two or three addresses subscribed to the
same list, say one receiving regular deliveries and the others not
receiving mail but members for posting purposes.

They are not separate users but they are separate addresses all
associated with the same user, but for the purposes of bounce
processing, we only want to consider the address which is bouncing.

I'm glad you are working on your proposal. You may be doing just fine
with this, but sometimes it seems you are getting side tracked with
questions that can be deferred to the actual implementation.
