Alter messages tab works for me, but DMARC is kind of a big enough deal 
(as far as mail delivery goes) and sufficiently different that I agree 
with Mark that it's not unreasonable to give it a separate tab.   I'd be 
willing to start it on its own and move it if we're getting too 
cluttered later, as long as we document it in the release notes when we 
do. Florian, what do you think?

We also get reports that mailman 2.1 options are hard to find -- I think 
I personally help someone find something at least once a month (on irc, 
in person, or by email) for the past decade. :)  I imagine Mark has 
answered a lot more of those than I have.

The big thing I want is good documentation here.  There's never going to 
be an organization that works for everyone, but an easily searchable 
document with all the options would make a big difference.  I only got 
to that level with the user docs not the list admin docs in 2.1
