I think mailmanclient should not expose a different value as the REST
API does (the fact that it's an int representation of a uuid isn't
exactly obvious from the outside, so a non-explicit conversion could
potentially lead to some confusion).

But how about we add a `uuid` property to the user object which
exposes the original uuid value?
