In the case below, the first command attempted to subscribe an address which is already a member so it failed and the remaining commands were unprocessed.
Why is that an error? I would expect it to ignored, just like setting a property to it's current value.
Because Mailman/commands/cmd_subscribe.py distinguishes it from success and calls it fatal. Granted, an argument could be made that it shouldn't be fatal and similarly that unsubscribe of a non-member address shouldn't be fatal either, but it isn't completely obvious that that should be the case.
