[Mailman-Developers] A couple of functions it would be nice to have from the command line

[Justin Long]

I moderate a mailman installation at http://www.strategicnetwork.org that
has over 120,000 subscribers to various lists. Here are some functions that
would be nice:'
1) the ability to add a new subscription to a given list without importing a
text file. Right now it seems to be impossible to add a single address to a
single list in the same way you can remove an address. This would be useful
for adding a one-off email address change.

adduser -l /list/thelist johndoe at gmail.com

2) the ability to change an email address en masse in all lists. At least
once or twice a month I have people who write in who want to have their
email address changed and they aren't technically minded enough to do this
on their own. As a customer service issue it would be nice to simply
accomodate them, e.g.

changeuser johndoe at gmail.com johndoe at smith.com

Cordially,
Justin Long
