[Mailman-Developers] Request update of list information page

[Marty Galyean]

Tony,
This is easy to handle!  Just create a directory in
../lists/<yourlistname>/<yourlanguage>/ if it doesn't exist.  In my case
this was ../lists/glocklist/en

Copy ../templates/en/listinfo.html into the directory above and modify
to your heart's content!

Be aware the listinfo.html interacts with the list information you enter
in through the admin interface so you will likely have to edit both.
