I've tinked with mailman 3 before so I could probably take a shot at
this over the next few week(end)s; however, I've no idea how this
feature is supposed to work. Any chance an admin of the current list
could send me a couple of screenshots of the feature in mailman 2 along
with a brief description of the feature? Alternatively, maybe we could
upload them to the wiki page Tony linked above or, better yet, to the
technical details page for same:
