Dear Dave, thank you for this information. I guess 3.0 will not be out in a reasonable time, and I do not think migration will be flawless from 2.1.x. So I start to add the new features to 2.1.x and I'll make the patch available for the public on a web page.
Yours, Zoltan

FYI, on November 1, Barry Warsaw announced that all new functionality would be implemented only in 3.0; 2.1.x would be bugfixes only, and 2.2 was effectively dead.

Dear Developers,
My task is to enhance the web admin interface for mailman-2.1.x, requested by one of my customers. As a programmer, I learned that I need to add some lines of code into Mailman/Cgi/admin.py (or listinfo.py).
I also learned that there are upcoming versions (2.2 and 3.0) which may have a different (completely rewritten) interface. As far as I can understand the current version (2.1.x) can be a widely used one for several years, so my changes will be fruitful for the community for a few years or so.
I'd like to add the following new features. My customer is running 100+ different lists with 500+ users. So my customer asks me to give a web interface for the following:
- Remove a given user from all lists. If a user to be removed is a list admin, then a warning should come instead.
- Change the email address of a given user in all lists.
I know that these requests could be done via the command line interface, but my customer would like to maintain these task via web.
My questions to you are:
- If my code is of quality, will it be a part of the mainstream code (from 2.1.14 or so)?
- Is admin.py the right place for such an enhancement?
Thank you for your answer in advance.
Yours, Zoltan Kovacs http://particio.com/english/
