I haven't seen anyone announce a MySQLMemberAdaptor yet either, but Martin
Whinnery made an announcement here a few weeks ago for an LDAPMemberAdaptor.
If you know some python, perhaps you want to look at the LDAP version and
try and convert it for use with MySQL. You'd surely make a lot of friends if
you did it. :)

The URL for the LDAPMemberAdaptor is http://webserver.offal.homelinux.org

You might also want to look at ~mailman/Mailman/MemberAdaptor.py if you're
thinking of attempting this.

You might already know this, but here's what the very helpful comments in
Mailman.Utils.maketext say:

    # When looking for a template in a specific language, there are 4 places
    # that are searched, in this order:
    #
    # 1. the list-specific language directory
    #    lists/<listname>/<language>
    #
    # 2. the domain-specific language directory
    #    templates/<list.host_name>/<language>
    #
    # 3. the site-wide language directory
    #    templates/site/<language>
    #
    # 4. the global default language directory
    #    templates/<language>
    #
    # The first match found stops the search.  In this way, you can
    # specialize
    # templates at the desired level, or, if you use only the default
    # templates, you don't need to change anything.  You should never modify
    # files in the templates/<language> subdirectory, since Mailman will
    # overwrite these when you upgrade.  That's what the templates/site
    # language directories are for.

Perhaps the second option is what you're looking for?
