Extension to AccountManagerPlugin that allow a user to opt-in to user@and dev@mailing list. B. A form embedded in a wiki page to allow users to subscribe to user@ and dev@ from a webpage. I did some work towards (A) in late May and early June, but never completed the work. I plan to pick that up soon and I'd like to propose committing the changes to (1) in the Bloodhound repository. The "contrib" directory does not yet exist. (1) http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/bloodhound/trunk/contrib
