[Mailman-Developers] A couple of functions it would be nice to have from the command line

I moderate a mailman installation at http://www.strategicnetwork.org that has over 120,000 subscribers to various lists. Here are some functions that would be nice:'

1. the ability to add a new subscription to a given list without importing a text file. Right now it seems to be impossible to add a single address to a single list in the same way you can remove an address. This would be useful for adding a one-off email address change.

adduser -l /list/thelist johndoe@gmail.com

2. the ability to change an email address en masse in all lists. At least once or twice a month I have people who write in who want to have their email address changed and they aren't technically minded enough to do this on their own. As a customer service issue it would be nice to simply accomodate them, e.g.

changeuser johndoe@gmail.com johndoe@smith.com

Cordially, Justin Long
