[Mailman-Developers] GSoC 2015: Anonymous Users & Dashboards

[Sreyanth]

Hi Terri & others

I am Sreyantha Chary (you can call me Sreyanth), a current MBA student at
IIM Ahmedabad. I have been a GSoC student for the past 2 years and would
like to hack on Mailman this year.

I am interested in implementing the *anonymous *users feature and
dashboards for admins/owners/mods

I have a few questions in mind about the anonymous users feature.

   1. Lets say a user A sends an email and it gets disguised as
   <foo>@<bar>. Should the user B who sends another anon email gets disguised
   as <foo>@<bar>? If that's the case, how would we get to know who is
   replying, A or B? This might create unnecessary chaos, don't you think?
   2. How do we store the email mapping? The email identifier mapped to the
   user's email or list's subscriber id for that user? Are we looking at
   implementing an encryption/decryption algorithm here for additional
   security?

Let me know your thoughts. Looking forward to hack on Mailman this summer.​

Thanks
sreyanth
