That's half the solution. The other half is providing means and encouragement for good ones to end up in a contrib directory. :-)
Or the Cheeseshop. At least the /intent/ is that third party packages/
eggs could be installed that provide entry points for the plugins that
Mailman defines. If that doesn't work in practice then we need to bug
the distutils folks or find another solution. I really want to
encourage a rich ecosystem of add-ons that don't need to be officially
supported or even acknowledged by the core team. The core should be
concentrating on the core functionality and providing a robust
framework with useful plug points.
A style is simply a collection of some subset of all the
configuration variables on a mailing list.And these cascade, right?
They can, other than that I haven't written the code yet. ;)
