Interestingly, I was just trying to do that last night.  Actually, just tried to get the person's name to propagate through the subscription and confirmation process.  I added another variable (and field) called "uname", but kept getting syntax errors whereever I used the "uname".  Probably need to define it somewhere as a string variable, but I don't know enough about Python!  Oh well.

My second thought is to make the subscription form go to a CGI script that would take the name and do its own thing, then issue a page with a meta-refresh to the Mailman script, passing the original parameters.  It's a kludge, but it's got potential!

I'd be interested to figure out how to make Mailman handle it though.. Would be nice to be able to add fields to the databases.  I know Lyris holds the person's name, and that's my main "competition".
