The CLI I built as part of GSoC 2014 supports the above features

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~rajeevs1992/mailman.client/mailmancli

It is based on the REST API.

To Add moderators you can do


./mmclient add-moderator list list at domain.org --user a at b.com b at c.com ...


Similarly to add owners do

./mmclient add-owner list list at domain.org --user a at b.com b at c.com


To add normal members

./mmclient subscribe user user1 at bar.com user2 at bar.com --list list at domain.org


You might want to install the PLY library [
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ply/3.4] to test the CLI fully.
