I see the attraction of this proposal for a fair number of users like you, and it's precisely what open source is for: you can maintain your own variant, in cooperation with those other users.
But when I suggested a 50% solution would be good enough, the 50% I meant was precisely what you're leaving out: a specification of the syntax (you deliberately leave the syntax vague!) and semantics of the data that Mailman passes to the MTA.
