[Mailman-Users] enhancement patches

[Brian Kantor]

Yes, indeed it is probably larger than need be, but after
fighting with other approaches, I just did it brute force.

Probably my way of doing it shouldn't be included in a future
release, although the capability of using syslog would be
very useful here.

Thank you for your comments.
