You are correct that it is not currently an option because no variable
interpolation whatsoever is done on member_moderation_notice.

If you want to implement it, look at the process() function in
Mailman/Handlers/Moderate.py. You will see the following:

            elif mlist.member_moderation_action == 1:
                # Reject
                text = mlist.member_moderation_notice
                if text:
                    text = Utils.wrap(text)
                else:
                    # Use the default RejectMessage notice string
                    text = None
                raise Errors.RejectMessage, text

You can modify this to add interpolation by doing something like

            elif mlist.member_moderation_action == 1:
                # Reject
                text = mlist.member_moderation_notice
                if text:
                    text = Utils.wrap(text)
                    d = {'real_name': mlist.real_name,
                         'web_page_url': mlist.web_page_url,
                         'cgiext': mm_cfg.CGIEXT,
                         '_internal_name': mlist.internal_name(),
                         'options_url': mlist.GetOptionsURL(sender,
absolute=True),
                         }
                    text = text % d
                else:
                    # Use the default RejectMessage notice string
                    text = None
                raise Errors.RejectMessage, text

Note at least one (options_url) of the above lines is wrapped by my MUA
and shouldn't be wrapped.

You can look at modules like Mailman/Handlers/Decorate.py for examples
of how this is done elsewhere.
