I wish that the admindb interface would show a different "default" message based on the type of the 'post' request; that is, now, it always displays the suggested text
Please do *not* post administrative requests
to the mailing list! If you wish to subscribe,
visit %s or send a 'help' message to the
the request address, %s , for instructionsbut that's only appropriate for some sort of post requests.
I see that "AddRequest" sometimes gets called with standard members of Errors, but sometimes gets called with hard-coded strings; what one would need is to regularize all those, and then have a mapping between the Errors argument and the suggested text argument (like a more-complicated Errors object, perhaps).
I could probably hack this together for MM 1.1; is there any point in me doing so and shipping diffs to somewhere?
i.e.
- is anyone working on this, or
- is anyone known to be completely reorganizing this source anyway, and
- what's the least-painful way to contribute changes?

I suspect the changes will be large enough that a disclaimer or FSF assignment will be required they can be folded into the distribution.
