Sigh,

I'm sure glad the community took over the package and I get all the 
bugreports :P  Look at the changelog, I hadn't worked on it since May2003.

mm_cfg.py to me is questionable as a pure config file, since it's python 
source and get's compiled in %post.

Guillaume, you made most of the changes on this - any opinion?

There is an updated package pending in the "big errata" that addresses 
several other issues, but I don't believe I changed this.

WTF?  Why config of mailman (mm_cfg.py) abide in /usr/ ?  
          ^^^^^^

man hier says:
/usr   This directory is usually mounted from a separate partition.  It should
hold only sharable, read-only data, so  that  it  can  be mounted by various
machines running Linux.

I use my own script for reconfiguring mailman config.  Now my script is not
right - /usr may be read-only mounted, for example.

As I know, all configs must be in /etc directory.

PS: also I not like the next fact - in MandrakeLinux 9.2 rc1 mailman config
abide in /var, but in release it shange its place - this is not good thing.
