Hello. I am the person who originally wrote up this idea. I am not going to mentor it; I am not skilled enough at working with Mailman, and I have other time commitments, so I will not be mentoring this or any other Google Summer of Code student or idea.

1. what are the other feature you want to implement through this.other than

The fact that the project doesn't have a mentor listed probably means you'll need to flesh out the requirements yourself.

Correct.

...

2)the gsoc idea page says that it is necessary to fix at least one bug, but i have not been able to find some bug that is beginner friendly and related to my project, can you give me some bug to work on that will help me on my project.

Since this is a new feature, there probably are no directly related bugs. For "easy", some of the bugs in launchpad have an "easy" tag; you should look at those.

...

3)some other necessary things that i should work upon before submitting my proposal.

Read the first four sections of the ideas page again, and read the references there, especially "How to SPAM".

...

4)and lastly who will be my mentor, can you tell me?

I don't know; perhaps the person who suggested this project will step forward in a few hours.

No, I will not mentor this project.

If no one has specifically said "I will mentor this project" then no one is assigned to mentor it. However, a good student, someone who writes well and shows resourcefulness and gives the impression that she/he would be interesting to work with, could potentially attract a mentor who wants to work with that student.
