I know of the anonymous_sender field. Whilst that wipes & rewrites the 
entire "From" field, I'd like a functionality where it retains the 
sender's name but hides/replaces his email address. In a closed list 
(which is what I am running), I'd live to lookup the sender's name in 
the DB's subscriber_table and distribute the message to the list from 
"Original Sender name <anonymous_sender email address>".


This is roughly what the DMARC Protection does -- replaces the email address but keeps the name, in order to avoid DMARC issues.  The anonymous list options conceal the display name as well.

 You should be able to configure DMARC protection on the list, with a dmarc_protection=all  (so that it matches everything).  Set dmarc_protection_phrase=display_name to preserve the display name, and dmarc_protection_other_email to be whatever you want the email address to show as (e.g. the list address).

So, try this:

dmarc_protection = all
dmarc_protection_phrase = display_name
dmarc_protection_other_email = anonymous_sender@my_server_domain
