Yeah, I know what you mean. From a Mailman-developer's view that *is* confusing. But the view of non-MM dev, who is just a user of mailmanclient and/or the REST API (and doesn't know the innards of Mailman's database) might be different. If the user_id value changes depending on whether you are using the API directly via HTTP or through mailmanclient, that might be hard to understand. > I guess it depends on the reason the UUID is serialized.
