Just drop UnionMemberAdaptor in MAILMANDIR/Mailman, extend.py in
MAILMANDIR/lists/LISTNAME and edit appropriately.

However, it does reveal a couple of omissions in the MemberAdaptor api
- no easy way to indicate that a list is read-only, or a particular
member is not editable.  Also a clean way of getting parameters exposed
to the web interface would be great.
