Someone has asked me about some adjustments mailman 2 related to what they think they have to do for GDPR compliance.
One is to add some checkbox stuff to agree at subscription time that you understand what info you're providing. I expect this could be spliced in the same way CAPTCHAs are.
Another is to provide different views of what lists exist depending on what IP address you're connecting from, so internal lists are only visible on the internal network.
Has anyone done stuff like this? I think they're running 2.15, probably possible to update to more recent versions of 2.x but 3.x is not in the cards.
Tnx.
R's, John
PS: I am definitely not looking for arguments about whether the GDPR needs this. It's their money, they get to say what they want.

you could let the webserver control the access to specific URL but that may be painful if you have many lists.

I think it needs more than that. There's a page that lists all of the lists which needs to show different results for internal vs. external.
Does anyone else think that views would be generally useful? If I do this I can probably contribute the patches back.

It's a different use case, but we occasionally get complaints that on sites with large numbers of lists (and it can get into the thousands) (1) navigation is hard, and (2) timeouts are frequent enough to obstruct work.
Views would definitely address (1) and if implemented efficiently would address (2) as well. So I think patches would be welcome.
