Can we get a mailing list set up to address and escalate mailman <-> cpanel
issues?
I am particularly concerned about
http://forums.cpanel.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=15928 but from the
mailman-users@python.org list there are definitely a whole host of issues
that the mailman-developers would address if we had the correct
communication in place.
Thanks,
Martin
