Why not just give each person a different mail address (presumably
aliased to your one true address) and use the mbox:sender pair as the
"consent token". Trivially revoked, just alias it to /dev/null.

That's essentially what consent token systems like TMAD do via plus
addresses.  The advantage of the plus-address schema is that disposition
of revoked/stale/etc tokens can be various and gradated over time
(annotate, tag, renegotiate, differently file, etc).  See my recent post
on a consent token protocol for ways this could be extended in a regular
fashion.
