[Mailman-Developers] Adding keys in the configuration file

[Richard Wackerbarth]

You had mentioned a reference to the Django settings for HK.
Even if HK is enabled, django should not get imported into the MM space.

The proper way to handle the issue of URLs would be to have the MM core query the UI for them.
However, I have yet to convince Barry that the present model (where, at present, MM is the only part allowed to be authoritative over ANY information that it uses) is inappropriate.
So, for the present, we need to have a proxy for the UI and a section of the configuration that specifies the values for the parameters which it supplies.

IMHO, we should actually treat it as multiple proxies so that we can handle the more generic configuration in a consistent manner.
