	I'm not entirely sure that I disagree with you, but this is 
functionality not currently found in Mailman, and this is an open 
source project.

	If you want to contribute code to make this change happen, and 
post that as a patch in the SourceForge patch system for Mailman, I'm 
sure that it would be gladly accepted.  No guarantees that this 
functionality would ever be incorporated, but this would be the most 
likely way to ensure that this would happen.


	Otherwise, you're at the mercy of the developers on the project. 
This project is not a full-time job for anyone (so far as I know), 
and people have to squeeze in what work that they can, when they can. 
Right now, the primary focus in Mailman is on the upcoming version 3 
stuff, and any work on patching/fixing the current version is going 
to have to be something pretty major.
