I would oppose this. User email addresses have to be mutable by the user, but the list manager's interest in them is very limited. The potential for screwing up other lists is large. You are requesting this because the users don't know what they're doing. In that case they may be displeased with the result, which will require other list managers to fix problems you've created. On the other hand we could restrict the effect to the particular subscription, but that would entail other issues. I'm pretty sure allowing list administrators to manipulate user addresses would be a vector for social engineering to take over an account, as well. Not that taking over a Mailman account is particularly valuable to hackers, but I've seen people do similar things purely out of malice. I would support a merge request allow exporting and importing a user's option configuration via a file in a JSON or TOML format (ie, no PII). -- GNU Mailman consultant (installation, migration, customization) Sirius Open Source https://www.siriusopensource.com/ Software systems consulting in Europe, North America, and Japan _______________________________________________ Mailman-users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://lists.mailman3.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.mailman3.org/ Archived at: https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/7C32T4INMA7VCJYDJXYVJMMEW636OYPL/ This message sent to [email protected]
