[Mailman-Users] Need to clear administrative requests

Use withlist:

   > python -i $prefix/bin/withlist -l [listname]
   >>> m.requests={}
   >>> m.Save()
   >>> ^D

^D is [CTRL]-D, hit simultaneously.

Remember, this removes *ALL* pending administrative requests.  You might
want to backup $prefix/lists/[listname] first, just in case.  :)
