My plan is to collect this information in Mailman 3, making it  
available via the web ui and admin REST interface.  Adding an email  
reporting infrastructure would not be difficult, once the basic  
information is being collected.  We write much of this to the log  
files (with more consistent formatting in MM3), but I'd also like to  
write it to a database table.  That last bit isn't implemented yet.
