I've now been using Mailman (note no studly caps) for a while so, here are some comments:

• I've placed my lists at /lists/ instead of /mailman/ so that required a patch to SecurityManager.py to send cookies with the right path

I do the same, as you can see here:

http://www.kanga.nu/lists/listinfo/

This has required no patching to any of the Mailman sources, other than the normal Defaults.py/mm_cfg.py business.

(Yes, I know I'm running v1.1, but the same was true when testing out moving to one of the v2 betas (I'm not ready to roll it into production there))

• I'd be *most useful* to have a another subscriber option which indicated that the subscriber wasn't really a person but was, in reality, a sublist. For those subscribers monthly notices (which should also be a per-subscriber thing IMO) and other administrativia would be sent to owner-<subscriber> (or <subscriber>-owner, or <subscriber>-admin).

This is what the umbrella options are for.

• I'd love to be able to edit messages that get held for approval. So that I can remove HTML from some email, reset the reply-to to somewhere more appropriate or simply trim things down and insert a "modified by whomever" message.

On v2 you can.
