Done.

Guess I forgot to include that patch the last time. But yes. for example, if a
mailing list is formed like:
{ "name": "d...@test.com", "active": 1, "createdAt": ISODate("<some_date>"),
"addresses": [
"ha...@dexo.tech", "vik...@postfix.org" ] }
then:
filter = { "name": "%s", "active": 1 }
return_attribute = addresses
for key "d...@test.com" will return:
ha...@dexo.tech,vik...@postfix.org
