same here... but i've never had any reactions to the suggestions i posted in
here so i kind of got the feeling that nobody took me seriously...

that would be a great idea... i'm quite new to python programming (i've
experience with other languages and script languages though, including
object-orientied onces... i've never looked into python untill i wanted to make
some changes in mailman) so i don't think i'm ready to be an active developer
for mailman, however i can make small enhancements and if we had a contrib dir,
i could put them in there...
