Ideally I'd like a button

is run newlist,

send the list message...
FWIW I do sort of the same thing. I have hacked newlist to
accept another option as described below.
[mailman@mail riders_connection]$ ./bin/newlist
--help
Create a new, unpopulated mailing list.
Usage: %(PROGRAM)s [options] listname listadmin-addr
admin-password
Options:
-q
--quiet
Normally the administrator is notified by email
(after a prompt) that
their list has been created. This option suppresses
that
notification and the prompting.
-s file
--saveemail=file
Append the email that is sent to the administrator
of the new list
to file. This is in addition to sending the email
to the administrator
unless -q is used.
-o file
--output=file
Append the alias setting recommendations to file, in
addition to
printing them to standard output.
-h/--help
Print this help text and exit.
You can specify as many of the arguments as you want on the
command line:
you will be prompted for the missing ones.
Note that listnames are forced to lowercase.
[mailman@mail riders_connection]$
a patch for this against 2.0.3 is attached if anyone is
interested.
