[Mailman-Users] add_members

[Allan Hansen]

Thank you, Patrick, but I do need the subscriber names in the
lists. Cutting them out would not work. Using bin/list_members, Perl
and bin/sync_members lets me do what I need to do. I was just wondering
about the apparent inability of add_members to accept names.
The help for the command does not indicate a way to input names, and
the Python code itself appears to actively reject the notion.
