[Mailman-Users] changing EVERY member EMAIL ADDRESS?

I think he meant "with Mailman", hence the reason for asking it
here on mailman-users; if Mailman has an "aliases" file, it's news
to me.

Easiest thing I can think of is to hack something up to run with
bin/withlist, but changing addresses is difficult, as the address
is the "key" to look up information rather than a data field;
you'd need to find all the objects that are keyed by name and
copy them to a new record and then delete the old one.
