Unfortunately I am short on time. Here's a brief description:

The idea is to add SNMP capabilities to MM. The SNMP interface should follow
the FCAPS model <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FCAPS>. What exactly that means
for an MLM and MM in specific is something I'd expect the project to layout
and implement (in parts).

I would, for example, like to know how many mailing lists there are, how many
people subscribed to each mailinglist, how many non-subscribed senders send to
the mailinglist etc. pp.

I can come up with a list of items to examine and count if this becomes a
project.
