Does any of that help? You should definitely look at the Mailman 3

I'm sure all of that will help when I get into the kitchen, but I'm
having problems finding the right street. I thought I'd be able to
leap right in, but the more I look, the more I find that I need a
map. Perhaps something describing the lifecycle of a typical email,
and which bits of top level code are responsible for handling it at
which stage. Or maybe just a recommended order for reading the
doctests would do the job.
With that understanding, I can follow the API calls to get at the
detail.
I would definitely start with the docs in mailman/queue/docs. These
describe the various queues, what their responsibilities are, where
they get mail from and where they send mail to. Most messages will
come in via the lmtp or incoming queues, so think of these as the
entrances for email into the system.
There are some general docs in mailman/docs which describe the data
objects you'll be dealing with, such as users, addresses, mailing
lists, etc.
Next, look at the mailman/pipeline/docs for how the message pipeline
processor works, and at mailman/rules/docs for how the individual rule
implementations work.
If that still doesn't help, let me know and I will attempt to add more
doctests to fill in the gaps.
