Hi, I have asked about it on the systers irc and I got a good response from the team there. They shared a link with me which contains a lot of good points to discuss about. http://systers.org/systers-dev/doku.php/good_to_know
Use of different email addresses - so called aliases - for sending emails: This is a good point as a user perspective. We will give user an option to save an email address and out of the entered email address we will ask which email address he/she want to use for sending email. I think we can extend this feature for moderators and owners too.
Dynamic list: It is also another idea for subscribers. It allows the subscribers of a list to create new threads or conversations in the list. Each subscriber can choose to get or not to get new conversations as well as to (un)subscribe from/to the conversations as well and not just to the entire list. To send emails to a dlist, subscribers have to add +new in the email address and they can also add a name for the new conversation.[Reference : Above link]
There is also a feature about essay. The essay feature can be enabled by the list creator when creating the list, and at the same time the list creator can choose which questions to ask. The default when enabling this feature are the questions used for the Systers maillist but by simply editing the field with the questions the list creator can choose to have other questions instead. [ Reference : Above link]
I have a doubt if essay feature can be part of subscriber's profile page. I want more inputs/feedback about all these points if these can be integral part of my proposal.
Thank you Ashish Kumar IIIT Hyderabad

Ashish,
Aside from Abhilash's advice (to which +1), you should also look into the Syster's implementation (IIRC it lives in github/systers somewhere) of Mailman, which already implements a similar feature. You can ask (politely! you're a guest there) on systers-dev@systers.org (you may need to subscribe) or on Freenode IRC #systers-dev or #systers-soc.
