This will cause serious problems unless each email is designed with this repeating list in mind.
If we include, it would be a lot of extra work or be an unprofessional looking unordered list that people would probably complain about.
I don't think we should include this unless a substantial number of users request it

That's what I mean, we'd build a simple template that accounts for the styling and other developers can use it as a boiler plate for their custom designs.
I know we'd want it for our own product annoucements rather than using a repeater to setup our upsells in the bottom part of an announcement email.
The shortcode idea, I agree it would probably not work well with all the templates and should probably be avoided. Even though with the right responsive setup and a little custom css a shortcode render could go a long way for some.

This could also be packaged as a short code inside core, but as a template feature we'd have more control over styling and it would distinguish the value of the template.
