It's the nature of projects like this to get used in ways that the authors didn't exactly anticipate. Often these variations can be accommodated with simple options, which seems like a way better choice than a fork.

The headers issue seems like a pretty straightforward one. It's true that the stupid/useful headers are visually distracting, and especially on a  relatively high volume list I really don't need to see them many times a day. My own preference would be for a three-way option: in the headers, as now; moved to a sig; and turned off altogether. To my mind this kind of flexibility makes Mailman better.
