[Mailman-Users] Triggers for when lists are changed?

[Kelly Jones]

I run nightly cron jobs to fix/update various Mailman lists. I don't
know Python, so I write Perl scripts that call the Python scripts in
/usr/local/mailman/bin/

This works OK, but I'd really like to run these Perl scripts whenever
a list is changed, not just once a day.

In other words, I'd like Mailman 'triggers'. Examples:

"whenever list foo's membership changes, run foo-member-change.pl"

"whenever list bar's config changes, run bar-config-change.pl"

"whenver anything changes on any list, run list-cleanup.pl"

Can Mailman do that? If not, I'd like to request it as a feature.

I realize I can have a daemon watch the config.pck timestamps, but
that seems ugly.
