The better solution is Mailman 3, which provides a REST API for programmatic administration, but it not going to be considered ready for production use (at least, not unless the admin is a Mailman 3 developer) for several months.
The only developer currently working on Mailman 2 at all is Mark Sapiro, who handles maintenance (ie, bug fixes and integration of "uncontroversial" minor feature patches). I think any change here is likely to be controversial, so won't make it to Mailman 2 in the near future.
Hey Steve. Thanks for getting back to me.
Since my application will be distributed on optical media, it's impossible for me to adapt it to Mailman 3 later should the server ever be upgraded. I'd like to have it work with both interfaces, but it's impossible for me to do that right now because Mailman 3 is still experimental and I won't know how to communicate with it yet, let alone the static URL and API the server would expose whenever its is upgraded later.
I think what I'll do is contact Mark, as you suggested. Thanks a lot for your help.
