This may be of greatest interest to FreeBSD & MacOS "port" maintainers.. I've been running these patches to mailman mailman-2.1.18.1 to use "kqueue" to watch the queue directories since August.
It looks like the "inotify" facility on Linux might do the job, but it's not among Python's "included batteries" (yet)
I'd be supportive of a patch to MM3 to support kqueue/inotify. There appear to be several inotify modules available on PyPI, and even at least two in Debian (with pyinotify looking to have both Python 2 and 3 support). Other than that, I don't know which one is "better".
Would you be interested in putting together a merge proposal for MM3?
