I can't get to the pending request page for a mailing list. (My web clients just say "waiting for response" and finally give up.) I think it is because there are too many pending requests after some problems. (config.db is almost 10MB.)
How can I do this some other way?

I'll be sending a long email to mailman-developers outlining the changes so if you're interested, please either join that list or read the archives. (I hope to make the post by the end of today).

python -i $prefix/bin/withlist -l [listname]
m.requests={} m.Save() ^D
That will clear out all pending administrative requests.
NOTE: ^D is in fact [CTRL]-D. Be very, very careful...

I've kept this little bit of python handy for cleaning out posts in moderated lists that end up with too many posts to handle manually.
python -i $prefix/bin/withlist -l [listname]
m.requests={} m.Save() ^D
That will clear out all pending administrative requests.
NOTE: ^D is in fact [CTRL]-D. Be very, very careful...
This is no longer working for me. No idea when it stopped working since it is not used very often. When I run it I get
$ python -i pwd/bin/withlist -l faucettalk
Loading list: faucettalk (locked)
m.requests={} m.Save()
Unlocking (but not saving) list: faucettalk Finalizing $
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks, Dan

I think I found it on the mailman faq or posted to this list. Note that I use a pre-made empty request.db. I was getting over 100 requests a day on one of my lists.

Worked like a charm. Hadn't noticed that request.db was a separate file.
