The substititions in templates are defined in a Python dictionary that
is passed to the call to produce the substituted template. In general,
the parameters which can be substituted are specific to a given
template and are only those which appear in the base template.

In this case, you can't add other substitutions to verify.txt unless
you modify the calls to Utils.maketext() in Mailman/MailList.py to add
the additional substitution parameters to the dictionary that is
passed.
