What tools are those?  A heavy web ui?

Sorry, did I overlook a command/command/command/commit ability in Mailman?

Without that, you are limited to a long chain of command lines where we 
have to check each return code and then back out the commands if any one 
fails.  This makes no sense for any automation effort, and generally
requires several hundred lines of code that do not survive upgrades, to
work around a problem that can be solved in several lines of python in the
source.
