One thing that I would like to see would be for Mailman to be able to
detect cryptographically signed messages. Then it would be possible to
set up lists to reject unsigned messages, or messages that are signed
but have been damaged or tampered with in transit, or messages that
are signed but the key id doesn't match any subscription, etc.

This feature could also be used to create stronger moderated lists by
rejecting messages that aren't signed by a key that is listed as
belonging to a moderator.

Of course, rather than using S/MIME, OpenPGP-compatible encryption
should be used (Like GNU Privacy Guard).
