[Mailman-Users] subscription hiding

Hi all,
I've had a request from someone I'm hosting a privacy-related list for, to
disable the '/options/<listname>/<username>' functionality, or to at least
make it such that people can't "probe" for addresses. At the moment, I can
tell whether a given address is or is not subscribed to the list by trying
that url and seeing if I get a request for a password, or if I get a "user
does not exist". That seems mildly buggy - shouldn't it ask for a password
regardless, and simply always fail if the user does not exist? How would I go
about changing the behaviour here? (any pointers to relevant sections of code
to get me started appreciated, if that's what it takes)
TIA,
KevinL
