Public bug reported:
We run many, many mailing lists via Mailman 2.1, because we are a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux shop and Red Hat ships Mailman 2.1 for all current
versions of RHEL.
Whenever a user leaves our organization, we need the ability to identify
all lists for which the user was a subscriber, owner, or moderator, and
take appropriate action (e.g., remove the user as a subscriber, or
transfer ownership of the list to another individual).
The find_member program is helpful in searching lists, but as shipped it
does not have the ability to search for target email addresses as list
moderators. This is functionality we need, and we do not know any other
way to obtain that information.
So, we added a --moderators option to find_members. We've been using
this patch locally literally for years. We would like Red Hat to accept
this patch in their Mailman 2.1 packages for RHEL8, but Red Hat has a
fairly strict policy of not patching software they package for RHEL
unless upstream has accepted the patch.
We don't care if this patch ever makes it into a Mailman 2.1.XX release,
but would you please accept the patch, so that we can then ask Red Hat
to include it in their Mailman 2.1 packages that they ship for RHEL8?
Thank you for your consideration.
