Summary: Inconsistent case sensitivity w.r.t. listname

Initial Comment:
Hi!

Mailman's command line tools are not consistent in how they handle the case of list names, as shown in this Debian bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/446257

This is a bit problematic as list_lists does report them in mixed case.

The attached patch should make all command line tools do a case-normalisation before processing.

2.1.10b1 will be released as soon as a few packaging glitches related to
our move from Subversion to Bazaar are worked out. Should be later this
week if not today.

Thanks! Any idea on about when to expect such a 2.1.10 release?

The attached patch - lower.patch.txt - fixes this issue and will be
included in Mailman 2.1.10. It is somewhat different from the original
patch but accomplishes the same result.
File Added: lower.patch.txt
