FR: MailChimp sync merge should merge first names of contacts with the same email address

[jefft]

Occasionally a couple share an email address, and we'll have two persons in Jethro:

"John Doe" <[email protected]>
"Jane Doe" <[email protected]>

When Jethro's Mailchimp syncer syncs to Jethro, only the first contact (e.g. "John Doe" <[email protected]>) gets synced, and Mailchimp emails get addressed only to John.

It would nice if the Mailchimp syncer could concatenate names (group_concat(firstname, ' and ')) of joint accounts, and sync only one combined address, which would then (in Mailchimp) be "John and Jane Doe" <[email protected]>

The tricky part is that the mailchimp sync includes merge tags (custom fields in Mailchimp) for gender, congregation, age bracket and status. These could all be different for the two people.

Did somebody notice because they were using a first_name keyword in an email or something like that?
