We already have this feature, there is an optional header 
"Removal-Recipient" defined in section 5.3 as follows:

"
o  "Removal-Recipient:" - indicates the email address to be removed
     from the mailing list (MUST only be used with  "opt-out" and "opt-
     out-list" types).  The format of this field is defined in section
     3.4.1 of RFC 2822 [6].
