[Mailman-Users] Giving descriptive names to mail adresses

One of the mailman mailinglists I maintain is an annoucne type of
mailinglist.

Occasional short, informational messages to a large group of subscribers.

I manage all subscriptions/unsubscriptions myself.

There's a couple of 100 email adresses subscribed.

Unfortunately the membership management gets a tad complcated.
If I look at the membership pages all I get is a lot of email adresses

xpZorp at yahoo.com
ap122 at home.com
&c &c &c ...

Which is a bit of a pain if I have to sort some users out if I only have
their name.
So I would like some way to add some sort of description to these email
adresses.

Standard email headers allow for a ".." part (e.g.

"Gerhard den Hollander" <gdenhollander at jasongeo.com>

Is there some trick to do the same in mailman , so that the membership list
will look like e.g.

xpZorp at yahoo.com "Joe Dalton"
ap122 at home.com  "Averell Dalton:

&c &c ?



Kind regards,
