Incidentally, since Fil seems to be taking all the credit for what I started I think he should actually put a proper credit in there for me, linking to my business website at http://www.orenet.co.uk/ rather than the vague passing mentions that are in the docs/code of his version of the system at the present time.
I'm sorry if I did anything not appropriate. From what you see in the code http://trac.rezo.net/trac/rezo/browser/Mailman/MySQLMemberAdaptor/MysqlMembe... it seems that the mention you require is there. Yes, that's good, although it's just a copy from my original code ;-)
I'm guilty of referring to "Fil's MySQLMemberAdaptor" in various list postings. I'll try to be more careful in the future.

In order for that to happen, and for either version to be incorporated into Mailman 'proper', an agreement needs to be reached (and I may be out of date here, and one already has) betwen you, perhaps me, and the core mailman developers about how to solve at least the following:
- The conflict between the old pickle way of doing things of iterating over a get-singular-record method numerous times rather than a grab-multiple-records-and-return-in-the-right-format which is more the way SQL works effectively. Whether that's a rewrite, or some way of overriding the existing methods to implement them better, I don't know. Perhaps I can look into this soon. Any hints from the core guys?
Mailman 3 supports a real user database back end. Barry has been doing all the work on this, and I'm not up to speed having spent all my time on 2.1/2.2, so I can't comment intelligently on details, but that's where we're headed.
