I'm really having trouble with this interest in "plugins" as opposed
to "rules for chains" and "handlers for pipelines". To install a rule
or handler is a three-step process done by the site administrator:
1. Write or download a module containing some code using a simple
plugin API; the code has access to all Mailman features.
2. Save/copy the module to .../rules or .../handlers.
3. Configure the global pipeline in mailman.cfg or individual
pipelines in list configurations.
That looks rather "pluggable" to me. What does a "plugin" give that
improves on this process?
