This is mailman, maillist management software written mostly in
Python. Mailman was originally developed by John Viega. Ken
-Manheimer picked it up and refined some of the rough edges after some
-versions were lost in a system crash, enough so that mailman is now
-the production system for python.org. Hopefully we will see continued
-development and blossoming of this very promising foundation through
-the efforts of a bunch of people - there's a lot of potential here.

-=======
-There's still much that I'd like to redo or add. I'm not incredibly
-proud of the code, and it's a bit embarassing to be sharing it at this
-point. The weakest points in my mind are probably the cgi scripts and
-html formatting. Unfortunately, I won't soon have the time to devote
-to doing it better.
