There have been several conversations in the past about the fact that even
across virtual domains, all lists must have unique names, and ways to fix
this.

In March of 2006, there was a large discussion which culminated in Hans
Ulrich Niedermann posting links to the patches he was working on in this
message:

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-developers/2006-March/018629.html

Unfortunately, neither the machine hosting the download page nor the one
hosting the Git repository are responding to connections.

Does anybody know if Hans made more progress on the patches after he made
that post? And more importantly, since neither Google nor Archive.org
happened to crawl the patch files, does anyone have copies?

As another aside, as noted in entry 4.47 in the Mailman FAQ (
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.047.htp )
CPanel apparently has patched this functionality into Mailman, but decline
to give back their changes. Given that Mailman is normally distributed
under the GPL, the only way that could be kosher is if they made a deal to
distribute it under a different license. Would anyone be able to speak to
whether or not that is the case?
