Add configuration option similar to `config.styles.paths` but for general plugins. Paths in this list will be used to find components that Mailman will use, similar to `find_components` coupled with a standardized plugin structure: + - `plugin package` + - `handlers` + - `rules` + - `chains` + - `commands` + - `pipelines` + - `styles` + - `rest` + + 2. Let plugins add Pipelines the same way they can add Handlers, Rules etc... + - This means refactoring `BasePipeline`, `OwnerPipeline`, `PostingPipeline`, `VirginPipeline` from `mailman.core.pipelines.py` into a package `mailman.pipelines` + - Use `find_components`, or rather it's sibling function created in 1. + + 3. Let plugins subscribe to receive events. + + 4. Let List creator specify List Style when creating it through Postorius. + - The REST api supports it, add bindings to MailmanClient and a field to Postorius. + + 5. Allow multiple callables in `pre_hook` and `post_hook` run in order specified. + - Already a [MR](https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/merge_requests/264). + + 6. Drop `ext_dir`. + + 7. Let plugins add routes to the REST API. Under `/plugins/<plugin_name>/...`. + + - Create a new `IRESTSink` interface, that is callable `func(request, response)` and knows it's prefix relative to it's root. + - Use `falcon.API.add_sink(callable, prefix)` to add all `IRESTSink`s from both `mailman.rest` package(unused, no sinks necessary for core) and plugin's `.rest` package. + - [falcon.API.add_sink](https://falcon.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api/api.html#falcon.API.add_sink) + + 8. ? Make all commands be able to require confirmation and make this a configurable option. + + - How? + + 9. Add possibility of config inclusion to `mailman.cfg`, or of per-plugin config. + + +## Proposed changes to MailmanClient + + 1. Add bindings for `/plugins/<plugin_name>/...`. + + - Pretty low-level, since each plugin can handle requests as it wants.
