Over the past few years I've several times submitted courier-to-mailman.py to various Mailman forums in the hopes that it might be helpful enough to make it into the contrib section of the Mailman source tree. This is basically a modification and update of the qmail-to-mailman.py script (which is perhaps now obsolete since qmail, as an MTA, is largely abandoned and unsupported these days), and provides list-independent support for interfacing the Courier MTA with mailman lists.
I don't know whether this contribution has been seen and rejected, or gone unnoticed, or if Courier is considered to be such a minority MTA that it's not worth considering, or what.
I run Courier on both of FMP's mail servers, along with Mailman, and this script works very nicely on both of them. If the Mailman devs have seen this and decided not to include it I'll forget about it, or offer it only to the Courier user community. Once again, though, if it would be useful and possibly worth distributing with Mailman, I'll re-submit it if someone will tell me where to post it.

I think it would be a valuable contribution, and now that we've mostly switched away from sourceforge, the correct place to post that is on launchpad at <https://launchpad.net/mailman>.
Mark would be the one to take it from there and put it into the contrib/ directory.

Brad is correct. If you post it in the bug tracker on launchpad or even just point me to a current version posted somewhere, I'll get it in contrib/ in the distribution.
