Another minor patch adding what I need to mailman ;) I also noticed this on the jitterbug list, so I guess more people had wished or at least wondered for it ;P
Yup, that's correct.
I'm posting it mostly to see if it generates comments, and for me to find a good excuse to sleep.
:-)
I've had a go at integrating your patch into my locally hacked Mailman (BTW, could anyone provide me with a clue as to how I can tell patch(1) to understand a multiple-directory CVS diff?) -- and noticed that you seemingly have forgotten to add a DEFAULT_UNSUBSCRIBE_POLICY to Defaults.py.in, and that the comments in some places bore clear signs of a bit hasty cut-and-paste work :)
is there a good word for 'unsubscription request' ?
I'm probably not the best person to answer questions on English wording, but to me "unsubscription request" is OK. However, saying
Your authorization is required for a mailing list unsubscription request approval:
(quickly, three times in a row :) is quite a mouthful, so one might consider rephrasing that sentence somewhat ;)
Adding this has been mostly an exercise to learn a bit about the Mailman insides, and to see how easily it can be done; fairly easily ;) Comments are welcome, including "d'oh, dont write that, i already wrote it !"
My immediate comment would be:
How fast can we get this guy to sign the appropriate papers?
:-D
I'll try to get your stuff tested a bit here, too, and hopefully we can get around to committing it later.
Thanks,
Harald
