This isn't very webby, but we use it a lot. (With 2500 lists, it really
helps deal with those "please remove me from your list" messages.) It's
probably terrible python, but it does the job.

usage: /opt/bin/grep_members.py [!] regex [list [...]]
       /opt/bin/grep_members.py [!] = address [list [...]]

In your example, I might do:
% grep_members.py bean listname

Or, to find all lists that mr.bean is on:
% grep_members.py bean

The second form is to find a precise match among the specified lists, or
among all lists. It also DTRT if called as grep_owners.py instead.
