Works for me.
In particular, we run a bunch of xemacs-* lists right next to a bunch
of lists run by other organizations on the same host.
By changing the pipeline for xemacs-test (to which I am privileged to
be the charter and unique subscriber :-) I can test to my heart's
content, then use bin/withlist to add/subtract/edit the other xemacs
lists.
None of this affects the third-party lists.
It was pretty easy to figure out by trying, but if you want help feel
free to ask me.
All of this is remarkably cool, considering that I don't even have the
global mailman password. (But you do need access to restart the
qrunners so that the new Handlers will get picked up. sudo will do,
you don't need to su root or mailman.)
