[Mailman-Developers] [gpg] encrypted list management plug-in

hi devs!

from calafou hacklab & friends we wanted to reimplement schleuder in python. speaking and speaking we arrived at the conclusion that maybe writing a plug-in for Mailman 3 could be a good solution: we contribute to a great project and we have encrypt mailing list for hacktivist people.

first and obvious question: is there already an ongoing effort to achieve gpg encryption that we could join?

if not:

we thought this plug-in as a milter (mail filter) with added features for executing commands.

after reading your Core docs, things are little bit more complicated:

1. the preprocess (and maybe postprocess?) of the messages could be done by what you call chains and pipelines
2. the command system could be implemented extending the already existing Mailman command system (echo and end).
3. it is just not clear how to prompt if encripton is desired in your ecosystem.

our questions are maybe:

• is there a plug-in way to tackle this problem?
• do we really need to submit a merge request to the core instead of doing an optional debian package?
• are we totally on the wrong way? :)

thx for the support! best wishes!

efkin. Calafou.
