The pglister_sync script is supposed to synchronize subscribers from pglister to pgarchives, so they can access
archives.
From what I understand of its semantics, the "nomail" field (labeled "Disable mail delivery") is used to remain
subscribed,to be able to access archives, without receiving emails.
However, due to the way the API works, this is not the case. pglister_sync.py makes a call to the API, which get
subscribersfrom the mailinglist_subscribers SQL view. This view is built in the 0027_merge_migrations.py migrations and
excludesusers with nomail.
I propose a patch with a migration to change this SQL view to include nomail users (copying previous definition,
without"AND NOT nomail").
Note that this changes results of the API, which might have consequences if other scripts use it (I haven't found any
withsome grepping).
