A fully formed system which does this would be excellent.
The main thing that is blocking me from implementing it currently is a
set of perl modules which can handle the hard bit of managing a
mailing list correctly so I don't have to write them from scratch.
Given one that doesn't suck, I'd be able to implement this soonish.

soon, though, the rush from a test tube isn't enough. You want to
experiment more and more. Then before you know it, you're laying in
the corner of a lab somewhere with a Soxhlet apparatus in one hand,
a three neck flask in the other, strung out and begging for grant
money.
