Summary: separate auto-disable and "nomail" flags
Initial Comment:
Currently, Mailman will disable email to accounts (say,
because they bounced too many times) by setting the
"nomail" option. *However*, that option is also used by
users. As a result, I have no way to determine which
subscriptions are old/invalid, and which correspond to
actual users.
It would be nice to record disabling as a separate
field... say, as the date the account was disabled.
Then, I could periodically find all accounts which were
disabled more than a year ago and simply delete them.
Thus, users who temporarily disable mail delivery will
not accidentally have their subscriptions purged :-)

MM 2.1 adds a "reason" enumeration to the disabled flag, so at
least the 'bounce' vs. 'user' or 'administrator' distinction is
obvious.
The date of the event is also available in the log files.
Not that that's as useful as what you suggest, but it's
partway there.
