Sure. A somewhat more complete handler (and perhaps more Pythonic as
well) would be:


from email.Utils import parseaddr
def process(mlist, msg, msgdata):
    poster_name, addrs = parseaddr(msg['from'])
    if not poster_name and mlist.isMember(addrs):
        poster_name = mlist.getMemberName(address) or ''
    msgdata.setdefault('decoration-data', {}).update(
                                  poster_name=poster_name)


Notes:
  This prefers the name in the From header over the list member's real
name. That could be reversed.
  The dictionary update(poster_name=poster_name) syntax requires Python
2.4 or later. For older Python, this would be update(
                             {'poster_name': poster_name})
