Certainly there are questions of diminishing returns.
However, given the current plugin/handler it would seem simple to
have a library of such handlers which by list configuration may be
attached to a given list. One could rotate list footers. One could
prefix/affix any list footer with a user specific unsubscribe line.
I'm also kinda keen on putting a themes engine on Mailman -- montly
a file-extracted form of headers/footers/tokens ala your mod_layout
thing.

I'm still waiting for some a list owner to try that with me. The
last guy cheap skated with purple ink, which rather ruined the
effect.
