Signals that I used to verify the addresses in Mailman.

I think we have to decide how and where addresses will be verified.  Are they
going to be via confirmations emailed by core or via Postorius?

I think the core has to support emailed confirmation messages because
Postorius is technically an optional component.  So if a site were to build
their own REST front-end, they'd at least want to allow the core to handle
email verifications without having to build that into their front-end.

I'd prefer core to do it, so that it's consistent regardless of front-end and there isn't duplicated work in every single web component for Mailman, which is one of the reasons I haven't reviewed any of the proposed Postorius code to do this. (The other big one being that I need to do some research on auth libraries, because past experience has told me that I rarely agree with Simon. ;) )
