Thanks for the kind words and thought.

As a first step I have done what you suggested and built some patched  
MM source distributions. They are posted on my own web site at  
http://www.openinfo.co.uk/mailman/prepack.html

If you were interested in cooking an RPM version to post there too ...

Originally, the only reason I set up my www.openinfo.co.uk site with  
Mailman patches on it was because of problems a release or two back,  
when uploading the revised #444884 patch to sourceforge broke some  
configured in memory limit on their PHP page rendering code.

The problem recurred on 1st October when I uploaded the revised #444884  
patch for MM 2.1.3 and I am still waiting for something other than a  
canned response from the support folks at sourceforge. See:
