For the most part, the only substitutions that work in any of the .txt
templates are the ones in the default template. There is an exception.
%(user)s works (or should) in the subscribeack.txt welcome message
template, but it receives the user's email address, not the user's
name.
You say you've tried %(user)s in the welcome message. If it didn't get
replaced, as opposed to receiving the email address, I don't know why.
If you can patch the code, you could make %(username)s work by adding
'username' : self.getMemberName(),
to the dictionary passed to Utils.maketext() in the definition of the
SendSubscribeAck() method of the Deliverer class in
Mailman/Deliverer.py.
