withlist is really mostly geared for operations on single lists (maybe
it should be elaborated).  But it's easy enough to write a one off.

Let's say you want to append "Chuq's List" to the end of every
footer.  Something like this ought to do it (untested -- and perhaps
Py2.x and MM2.1-ish).

-------------------- snip snip --------------------bin/chuq.py
import paths
from Mailman import Utils
from Mailman.MailList import MailList

for listname in Utils.list_names():
    # Block until you acquire the list lock
    mlist = MailList(listname)
    try:
        mlist.msg_footer += "\nChuq's List"
	mlist.Save()
    finally:
	mlist.Unlock()
-------------------- snip snip --------------------

% cd /path/to/mailman/install
% python bin/chuq.py

Cook to taste.
