Yes, as much as makes sense.  When installed into a virtual environment,
you'll have `<venv>/bin/mailman` with lots of subcommands, many of which are
similar to mmclient.  It may not be possible to give them identical
signatures, and that's fine, but it would be great if when someone learns the
commands for one, the other will not break their intuition, especially for
things that are "close".
