(mailman 2.1.12 on centos 6.9)
I don't think that Mark mentioned it, but 2.1.12 is -painfully- old (as is centos 6.9) and centos packages often lag way behind the corresponding source versions.
If you need to stick with 6.9, I would consider ditching the centos package and installing the current mailman from source. Otherwise, can you move to a more modern Linux and more recent mailman?
Mailman's been been trouble- and maintenance-free for us since we switched from whatever-that-perl-thing-was-called all those years ago, and it never occurred to me it'd something as silly as abort the running op because my browser timed out.
Though the consequences of timeout were unfortunate, & Mailman would benefit from patching, I wouldn't blame Mailman, as you first wrote:
a few days ago I made a mistake (?) of uploading a list of ~7000 addresses into the "bulk subscribe" box.
Just delete the question mark: Yes it Was a silly mistake !
Now that I know, I'll consider "upgrading" -- to the university-run lyris: I might as well outsource the whole thing.
Better adopt the normal procedure for free source projects: Write & submit patches to project, to fix your problem.
