Mailman <-> LDAP as an interface means that anything that can generate an LDAP interface can talk to it. so perhaps the best thing to do is come up with an LDAP interface, define how the LDAP data should look, and then create a set of MySQL schemas that'll support that. I know barry's wanted to avoid requiring too many "things" to be installed to use Mailman, but when someone chooses to move to MySQL, I don't think it's unfair to assume they have or can install LDAP also.
Isn't LDAP a bit of a security hassle? I would think it is pretty common to
have Mailman running on a machine along side MySQL, Apache and and MTA of
some sort but wouldn't throwing in LDAP be more like requiring people install
a CVS daemon to use Mailman? I'm no LDAP guru but from what I have looked at
previously it certainly seemed that way.
