For Mailman 2.2, I am considering changing the Sender: header from the LIST-bounces address to the LIST posting address. As discussed in the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/RoA9>, I think this is in the spirit of RFC2822/RFC5322.
If you do create an option to let list admins control this setting, I would recommend making it default to not available unless explicitly allowed by the site admin, and then default to off unless explicitly changed by the list admin.
Then I think you want to create some additional loop-control mechanisms to help defend the list against dain-bramaged mail systems. You should also test "reply-to-all" functionality with that kind of setting. You could definitely get at least duplicates that way.
I don't have any direct experience with doing this sort of thing in Mailman, because the option has never been available (short of modifying the code), and I didn't feel it was necessary.
But this concept really does make me cringe. I'd want to see it heavily tested before released.
