They never made any attempt to build an OpenID provider in Mailman.  All 
they did was hack in some OpenID Relyer code, and in the process they 
broke any other kind of authentication.

Mailman is the wrong place to put an OpenID provider.  That needs to go 
somewhere else, and then you can put in code that allows Mailman to be 
an OpenID Relyer.

I really don't think so.  They and you seem to have very different ideas 
as to where the OpenID provider code should go.
