I don't think there was any reasoning behind it; it's simply that nobody
ever did it.

Majordomo2 does all you want and more.

Well, the moderator is supposed to either approve the message or reject it.
Back in the old days we just whipped up a little message telling them why
their message didn't go through. There's also a "reject" script floating
around that mirrors the "approve" script (it's at my FTP site
ftp://ftp.hpc.uh.edu/pub/majordomo/reject).
With your patch, you send the message that the owner is supposed to approve
to the poster as well, with no real explanation.
Mj2 lets subscribers choose whether or not they will see stall
notifications (the owner chooses for non-subscribers) and the list owner
can customize the messages that are sent out. The owner can also include
personal notes when they reject something.
Some Mj2 info is available from http://csf.colorado.edu/help/.
