You'll want to take a cue from the `mailman create` command, and as a general
rule, I think the shell-cli should be as similar as possible to the rest-cli.
I'm open to modifying the former in order to better align them, as long as we
have a consistent view of commands and options across both tools.  Let's not
go down the accretion-without-design path of git. :)
