that seems entirely doable with our current infrastructure (and even
with minimal-to-no hackery on mj2) - but it still carries the "changes
From:" issue :/

the MTA side of things is fairly easy/straightforward(including using
exim for some of the heavy lifting like doing the inbound dkim checking
and "hinting" the downstream ML-boxes with the results) - however the
main mailinglist infrastructure is still mj2 and that is aeons old perl
- still interested in helping with implementation? ;)
