[Mailman-Users] amending (you can do this) someone's email address

[Dan Mick]

Well, sorta.  clone_member means you end up with user 'b' who has the same attributes
as user 'a', but it doesn't get rid of user 'a'.  clone_member followed by a remove_members
might be pretty painless, though; nice find.
