This is very strange - why are there fields in the mysql table that aren't in use? hide, nomail, ack, not_metoo, and plain
I'm guessing they were either deprecated or the programmer planned to use them in the future.
They were not deprecated in the sense of having at one time been defined in the member data in the OldStyleMemberships.py list object. They have never been attributes of the list object other than as bits in user_options.
These fields also exist (unreferenced) in the table in Kev Green's MysqlMembersips.py <https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/558093>, upon which Fil's is based, so my guess is Kev intended to use them at some point but never got to it.
