Uh?
You gotta be part of the group mailman to have permissions on the db.

Because you don't want to a access a 10,000+ membership list linearly.
That's programming 101.

Not really, you just try to do all the things it wasn't designed for and
then complain that there isn't a front end of it.
If you needed to list the membership, you could do it with
~mailman/bin/list_members.
If you want a raw dump of the DB, you can get it with ~mailman/bin/dumpdb
What else do you want?
If you're missing the glue for what you want, you get to write it, the base
tools are there.

Eh, don't complain to us if you need to shave the conners off your cube as
you're hammering it into a round hole.
It's open source, you can do that if you want, but you get to shave the said
corners off, not us.
