You are right. The content negotiation feature will not be included in
the current stable 2.1.x. You are encouraged to post feature request to
SourceForge tracker:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=103&atid=350103
or post it in Mailman 3.0 Wiki area:
http://www.zope.org/Members/bwarsaw/MailmanDesignNotes/MailmanThreePointOh
or join the mailman 3.0 dev team:
http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman3-dev

Or, was there a discussion on this in mailman-developers?
