Bug report in Membership Management system on Web Interface
Greetings, There appears to be a bug in version 2.1.5 of the Membership Management panel of the Web Interface for Mailman:
I try to change the name (or add a name where the name is blank) for a specific email address, and the change does not save.
Is this a known bug? Is there a fix for it?
If this is not the right place to post this, please let me know where I should send it.
Cordially, Justin Long

For problems and questions using Mailman, mailman-users@python.org is
the better place to post. This mailing list is about developing
Mailman.
However, 2.1.5 is really old so you should at least upgrade to 2.1.12
before going any farther.

As far as I know, this is the first report of any such issue. It worked for me in 2.1.5 and it works for me in current Mailman.
Is this the only thing you can't change via the web admin interface? I.e. can you mass subscribe or invite? Can you change other settings?
If not, see the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/ioA9>.
There was a bug fixed in Mailman 2.1.10 that would not allow any changes to a member's settings from the admin Membership List page, but it only affected member addresses that contained a double quote (") character. If this is your issue, see the changes to Mailman/Cgi/admin.py at <http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mailman-coders/mailman/2.1/revision/972> for a fix.
