I think the concept of having Mailman optionally add it's own
"X-No-Archive:" header would greatly complicate the situation, and I
would be opposed to spending a whole lot of time working on this
unless someone else can provide us a pretty much complete
feature-rich patch that allows for modifying where in the stream this
process is done and where in the stream Mailman pays attention to
this header itself, and on a per-user basis.
Even then, I would be opposed to spending a whole lot of time
contemplating the patch.
The original patch is simple enough that I think we can argue the
merits of trying to slip it in sooner rather than later. However,
the more complex you make this concept and the more complex you make
the patch, the more I would be unwilling to consider incorporating
such a feature until the next major release of Mailman2.

Of course.
