[Mailman-Developers] admindb addition (was: tech docs?)

[Ricardo Kustner]

Hi,

I hate to reply to my own posts (as usual ;) ) but is anybody else interested
in this feature or agrees this can be an usfull addition to mailman? if i get
some positive responses, i'm going to have a better look at the mailman source
and i'll try to fit it in and make it and configurable option...
if anybody this my python code sucks... let me know! :)

Thanks,
Ricardo.
