Cool!  (Python rocks, doesn't it? :)

I'd say the SF patch manager is the best place for it:

    http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=103&atid=300103

But I'd like to know if we should have a more visible location for
contributed, unofficial add-ons and patches.  One the one hand, the SF
patch manager isn't a great place for it because I want to be able to
reject (and close!) patches that aren't relevant to the latest
version, or that I don't want to endorse as official.

Hmm, I wonder if we should start something on the Mailman wiki?
