"ABCDEFG" is what?  The list?

I think the short prefix /mailman/ should be reserved for traditional
and anonymous requests.  /mailman/rest_api/ or some such for the
REST API.

This is what you mean by self-documenting?  Presumably it returns not
only the attribute names, but their ranges (types) and docstrings?

Why have you changed the order of components here?

Huh?  This isn't a syntax error?
