Yes, but not in Mailman 2.  It's in Mailman 3 by default and any code  
that helps that branch get further along will be greatly appreciated.   
FWIW, I am planning on another alpha release before the end of the  
year.  My intent is to have the system working and usable without a  
web ui, but possibly with the administrative REST interface we'd been  
talking about.

You're analysis is essentially correct.  For Mailman 2.2, I think  
adding the weakref would be fine in principle, but the more invasive  
data store changes would not be.  Much better to get Mailman 3 out the  
door with its real database backend.
