I love this feature and would like to see it in Mailman at some point, but I
think it's too late for 3.0.  The ideal approach would be to continue to work
on a branch of lp:mailman and even do a merge proposal of that when and if
it's ready.

At some point close to 3.0 final, I'll create a maintenance branch
(e.g. lp:mailman/3.0) and trunk will then be assigned to 3.1.  I'll then
fiddle the Launchpad metadata to indicate the 3.1 is the focus of development,
and we'll just do bug fixes against 3.0.

Cheers,
-Barry
