One other gotcha, if you use bin/withlist to open a locked list and
then exit the interpreter without doing an explicit m.Unlock(), you're
list will be locked out for the duration.

Still, I'm willing to put something in Defaults.py like this:

# How long is the default lifetime for the MailList object lock, in seconds?
LIST_LOCK_LIFETIME = 120

and then set lifetime at line 282 to use this variable.

Will that work for you?
