[Mailman-Developers] adding new features for site admin (webUI)

[Kovács Zoltán]

Dear Dave, thank you for this information. I guess 3.0 will not be out in a
reasonable time, and I do not think migration will be flawless from 2.1.x.
So I start to add the new features to 2.1.x and I'll make the patch
available for the public on a web page.

Yours, Zoltan

> I'd like to add the following new features. My customer is running 100+
> different lists with 500+ users. So my customer asks me to give a web
> interface for the following:
>
> * Remove a given user from all lists. If a user to be removed is a list
> admin, then a warning should come instead.
> * Change the email address of a given user in all lists.
>
> I know that these requests could be done via the command line interface,
> but
> my customer would like to maintain these task via web.
>
> My questions to you are:
>
> * If my code is of quality, will it be a part of the mainstream code (from
> 2.1.14 or so)?
> * Is admin.py the right place for such an enhancement?
>
> Thank you for your answer in advance.
