Just from the top of my head, either as a combination of the two or as
single projects (if fleshed out a bit further):

- - A Dashboard for Admins/Owners/Moderators: A single page that lists
all to dos in one place (subscription requests, held messages).
Probably useful for owners/moderators of multiple lists.

- - Subscriber pages: Let users opt-in to show their membership to other
list members. Possibly along with some additional user information[1].
This could be useful for more private lists if you want to get an idea
who your audience is.

[1] The "additional user info" bit possibly re-raises the big question
of a central user data store for all Mailman components, which will
clearly not be solved as part of a GSoC project, especially a
beginner-friendly one. But we do already have a little bit of info,
the user's email address and the gravatar (if there is one). So all
we'd have to store is an opt-in flag somewhere in the Django-DB.
