I think Mailman/versions.py::NewVars() is the one that does all that
sort of stuff.  It's invoked when the version change is detected
in MailList.py::CheckVersion(), though, and that version number
is owned by Barry/the official distro.

I think it's probably difficult to do in a patch so that it doesn't
interfere with future releases.
