I feel bad about jumping in to this discussion, and not necessaraly being prepared to offer any real help, but anyway.
LDAP may be a better data[base|sink] for configuration data then SQL. It may be harder to work with (only because less people have experience with it), and it may be less usefull to a lot of sites (everyone has MySQL installed, not so for LDAP), but preference storage is a common use for LDAP. For sites who already have LDAP deployed, you can leverage the existing authentication data. LDAP stores "objects", SQL "rows"...
Sory if I sound like a marketdroid, but I'd feel bad if LDAP wasent at least considered.

I have been harping about SQL in Mailman for a year now but it is only recently that the mere thought of it being worked into MM in one way or another has being entertained. Talking isn't entirely useless. In fact it's necessary in order to influence change. Just so long as it doesn't stop at talk.
I've got a bit of MySQL background. My time is still limited, so I won't commit to coding I can't depend on myself to finish -- but if you want someone to help out on DB design and stuff, I'm in. I'll do what I can and maybe help avoid some of the potholes. I'd like to see this, too.
