It's completely historical and indicates the accretive nature of the user database. E.g. we didn't grow a usernames dict until 2.1.somebeta. It's generally not too wasteful though, given that most of the dicts don't have keys if the member either has no value or a default value. Having said that, eventually the member stuff will be ripped out of the list's data structures, but that's a Mailman 3.0 thing. -Barry
