For example, to manage my pgFoundry lists, I have to log in with one
password to manage pginstaller-devel and a different one to manage
pginstaller-cvs (which has been discontinued, but keeps getting spams
that notify me - at least it used to). Sure, I can set them to the same,
but...
Same goes as a user of mailman lists.
What I want is to log in to "lists.postgresql.org", and get an interface
that wil show me everything about the lists i'm subscribed to
(capability to change my flags etc) and everything about the ones I'm
admin for (which I'm not for any on pgsql.org, but in principle - admin
requests, moderation requests etc).
It's possible this can be done in other versions of mailman than the
ones I've been exposed to, in which case the point isn't valid given
those would be the versions we'd talk about.

Oh, I know that. I just wanted to get the suggestion into a possible
discussion about it.

It has a pretty large community supporting it in France, IIRC. Certainly
not as big as mailman, though.
