Heck, i suppose we could set something up that simply creates the new
account, copies over the settings and subscriptions from the old one,
and deletes the old one - sending email adresses to both addresses in 
the process.  I suppose the nice thing will be having the subscriptions
follow - though currently mailman keeps the subscription info with the
lists and not with the accounts.  I'll have to think about it some more,
but it does sound worth doing.

Is this approaching what you're seeking?
