Kirk,
I think Stephan's point was that even if Mailman is missing some feature you
need, it would be easier and more beneficial to the whole community to add
it, rather than forking your own list manager. I hope you will agree that
more people would be able to share the fruits of your hard work, if you
modified an established program, like Mailman.
Cheers,
Pijus
