[Mailman-Developers] patch to remove_member for mass unsubscribes

[Marc MERLIN]

I submitted:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=413257&group_id=103&atid=300103

Basically it adds a special list name: _alllists_
which does this:

usw-sf-list1:/var/local/mailman/bin# time ./remove_members -f /tmp/badmails _alllists_
User `gb@viscomvisual.com' removed from list `berlin-fresco'
User `jprice@chiinc.com' removed from list `foxgui-announce'
User `bmcgroarty@high-voltage.com' removed from list `freenet-announce'
User `Wilhelm.Pastoors@vetmed.uni-giessen.de' removed from list `gump-develop'
User `oscu@sina.com' removed from list `linux-usb-devel'
User `mehdi-laurent.akkar@fr.delarue.com' removed from list `madchat-annonces'
User `ras@colltech.com' removed from list `sendpage-devel'
User `mkimball@pdi.com' removed from list `utah-glx-cvs'
User `mkimball@pdi.com' removed from list `utah-glx-dev'
User `mkimball@pdi.com' removed from list `utah-glx-users'
User `brianp@pdi.com' removed from list `vacm-develop'
User `guido@comlog.nl' removed from list `wxwindows-users'
User `frekytah@jono.com' removed from list `solar-empire-developer'
User `dan@dar.net' removed from list `xemacs-winnt'

real    7m26.294s
user    1m9.120s
sys     1m10.640s


It ran in 7mn on 10,000+ lists, which ain't that bad considering.

Hopefully it will make it in the next mailman.

Enjoy,
Marc
