We have a significant complexity problem already in the admin 
interface.  If this is really just a matter of two settings (subject 
tagging and unsubscribe footers) it would probably make more sense to 
add an appropriate FAQ entry / documentation rather than adding Yet 
Another Setting, especially since we'd have to deal smoothly with 
indicating the over-rides and I suspect there's a bonus possibility for 
confusion as a result.

I'm not entirely convinced that this is a good way to solve the dkim 
problem for Mailman in the long-term, since I'm pretty sure a lot of 
users will balk at having the subject line tags removed, and many list 
owners will balk at having unsubscribe footers removed, so maybe it's 
best to look into the more complex re-signing solutions and not spend 
time encoding (and translating, and user-testing) a stop-gap measure 
into the interface.

That said, we've talked a lot about having simplified interfaces for 
quick list administration and interfaces designed for specific purpose 
lists. It seems like this might fit in nicely with some of those ideas, 
so I'm definitely not adverse to keeping it in mind as an interface 
option if there's evidence that this would be useful to enough list owners.
