How about domain-wide settings for default list styles or maybe set a default list style for an entire mailman installation through Postorius? That could make the work of list-admins easy if they manage too many lists and don't want to do repetitive change in each and every list. Additionally ability to change the settings for only a subset of all lists could also be possible.

Hi all,
In my role as org admin for Python, I'm trying to make sure we have more beginner-friendly ideas on the GSoC pages, and Mailman's among the groups that doesn't have any. How embarrassing for me as a Mailman developer. ;) It's also a problem for Mailman if we're applying as a separate organization, as Google seldom allows orgs unless they have a reasonable number of ideas suitable for open source newbies.
(The idea behind this is that many students are very new to Open Source and we want them to at least get something out of the application process, learn how to set up their environments and learn about what it takes to get hired as a GSoC student. Even if they don't make it in their first year, they'll be much more ready for later years!)
I'd love some help brainstorming some actual beginner-friendly ideas, though, because I'm currently all idea'd out. Anyone want to suggest some simpler things they'd like to see in Mailman that we could maybe put on the list?
Suggesting and idea does not mean you have to volunteer to mentor them, although I'm always looking for new mentors too!
