Um, take a look at bin/list_owners -m. It might be nice to have a sort of live mailing list for them rather than a list of their addresses, though.

I'm new to Mailman, but I'd like to try writing a script to do this.
Can anyone advise me on how to go about it/where to start?

Something like this?

import cPickle, os, os.path, sys

MAILMANHOME='/var/mailman' ;# change to suit sys.path.append(MAILMANHOME) moderators = []

for dir in os.listdir(os.path.join(MAILMANHOME, 'lists')): o = cPickle.load(open(os.path.join(MAILMANHOME, 'lists', dir, 'config.pck'))) for email in o['moderator']: email in moderators or moderators.append(email)

return moderators
