is this the correct place to ask "feature requests" (i didn't dare to go directly to mailman-dev)
If you have a feature request, that should be filed on the Mailman RFE page at <http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=103&atid=350103>.
i have submitted a patch against 2.1.5 (i am using debian-packages, so
i didn't bothered to have the most recent version) at the sourceforge
RFE-tracker at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1163610&group_id=103&atid=350103
Patches should actually be submitted via the patch tracker at <http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=103&atid=300103>.
do the developers of Mailman read these feature-requests on a regular basis ?
Semi-regular, yes.
i am very interested in getting my patch into the release (using a package-manager i have to be very careful to not "update" my patched version with a newer (and bug-fixed, btw) package.)
I can pretty much guarantee that this won't make it into the upcoming 2.1.6 release. That was under development for a while, but with the recent security issues all further enhancement work for that version has been stopped, and the focus has been on getting the release cut as quickly as possible.
Right now, I imagine that the hold up is translation -- Mailman supports a very wide variety of languages out-of-the-box, and it may take a while to get all the changes translated into all the supported languages.
If Tokio likes your patch, there's a good chance it may be incorporated into a near-future version, otherwise he may have to develop his own code based on your idea, etc....
Generally speaking, if all you've got is an RFE, you should post it on the page mentioned above, and one of the core developers will get to it sooner or later.
However, if you've got a patch, you can upload that and file an RFE, and then talking about it on mailman-developers is likely to get much quicker action.
