[Mailman-Users] display members moderator flag

[Beu, Ed (DOA)]

Hi Mark,

We've discovered that if the Unsubscribe_Policy is set to Yes (1), the moderator can unsubscribe members without the members input! The member simply gets a notice that they've been unsubscribed.

The list moderator password only allows access to the admindb web UI.
Allowing access to selected admin UI functions with that password would
require non-trivial source changes.

If you are willing to create your own web page with it's own
authentication, see <https://wiki.list.org/x/4030648> and the members.c
program linked therefrom for a way to execute Mailman command scripts,
e.g. bin/remove_members, from a web application.
