They need to do the following:

1. Copy Mailman/Handlers/Moderate.py to Mailman/Handlers/Moderate_foo.py

2. Edit Moderate_foo.py as above

3. This step can be done in multiple ways, but perhaps the easiest to
explain is as follows:

  Create the file extend.py in the lists/foo-list/ directory (the
already existing directory that contains the foo-list config.pck,
etc.) The contents of this file are the 5 lines:

import copy
from Mailman import mm_cfg
def extend(mlist):
    mlist.pipeline = copy.copy(mm_cfg.GLOBAL_PIPELINE)
    mlist.pipeline[mlist.pipeline.index('Moderate')] = 'Moderate_foo'


See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/l4A9> for more detail.
