Modification to Listhandler to add "anonauthor"

I would like to propose the addition of an "anonymous user" option within listhandler.

My specific situation/configuration:

• We have several MAILMAN mailing lists which are moderated and which require
  administrative approval to join
• We have a Civicspace website set up and forums which correspond to the mailman lists.
• Only a small subset of the Mailman subscribers have userids on the Civicspace site.

Want we want:

• Users on the MAILMAN list post and will have their postings automagically submitted to the
  correct Civicspace forum, thus effectively turning the CS forum into an archive within CS.
• Users of the Civicspace forums can post and have their entries sent to the Mailman list.

What currently happens:

• When a Mailman subscriber sends to the Mailman mailing list, it gets propagated to the CS website.
• If the subscriber does NOT have a valid CS userid, it is automagically created; the admin
  can specify whether the newly-created user will be blocked (meaning whether the user
  is allowed to login and post).

  If the user IS blocked, then his/her posting will not be
  done to the indicated forum.

My / our proposed solution: create a new option in listhandler of "anonymous user", i.e., a
valid CS userid which will post the EMAIL item as outlined above.

This has several benefits:

1. A new CS user is not automatically created (in our case, beneficial, as we have > 500 on
   one of our mailing list and most of them won't even WANT a CS userid).
2. We can set the privs of the anonymous user to only post to certain forums.

I have implemented this in a modified listhandler module; it appears to work just fine as follows:

• A listhandler option has been added ("listhandler_anonauthor"). A text area has been defined on the configuration screen and the value stored as per other values in the configuration process.
• If an anonymous posting (from the Mailman user) comes in:
  • If the anonauthor has been specified in the listhandler configuration AND the user is valid,
    then the posting is performed under that userid.
  • if the anonyauthor field has been left blank then the usual listhandler processing takes place.

As a new participant in this process (module submission) where should I post my version of the module?
