And all bin scripts should take a standard -h/--help flag which just
prints the usage docstring and exits.

bin/find_member is useful whether or not you know the list in
question.  It takes a -l/--listname option to narrow the search to a
single mailing list.

In Mailman 2.1, the list's Membership List page has a "search by
regexp" feature that can be used to look for matching addresses.  It
doesn't search across more than one mailing list though (that's for
a future release when we have a unified member database).  Still it
should be pretty handy.
