At one time I heard a rumour that someone was to implement VERP[1]
support in Mailman -- and I even imagined to have heard that the
implementation would do VERP on only every Nth posting to keep down
list latency.

It would be a post-1.0 thing, of course -- but was I merely dreaming
all this, or are actually anyone putting any work into this?

If no-one are, then someone should be :-)
