That's right. clone_member only clones the message/digest setting an
the bit flag options.

You need a withlist script such as the following:

Cut---------------------------------------------------------
"""Set a member to no mail by admin.

Save as bin/set_nomail.py

Run via

   bin/withlist -r set_nomail <listname> <member>
"""

from Mailman import MemberAdaptor

def set_nomail(mlist, member):
    if not mlist.Locked():
        mlist.Lock()
    mlist.setDeliveryStatus(member, MemberAdaptor.BYADMIN)
    mlist.Save()
    mlist.Unlock()
Cut----------------------------------------------------------
