Understood, but there are a couple of things at work here. One is that this particular task is a one-off the correct the result of a bug, but perhaps more significantly, mailman developers (at least me) are comfortable with
withlist(it's been around since MM 2.1) and if I can do it that way, it reduces the motivation to make something more friendly for the normal admin. Unfortunately doing things easily that way requires a lot of specialized knowledge of Mailman internals, so most admins need help with it.
Mark, I completely understand your situation as a core developer with limited time and lots of requests from all directions. Being a Python programmer myself, I would be happy with a consistent documentation of the relevant Python classes to be able to develop own applications. The isolated code snippets in the mm3 documentation are not too helpful.
Such a documentation would possibly remove some of the workload you feel by constantly answering admin questions.ยด
When you look at the documentation of the Qt library you know what I mean.
Thank you again for this great project!
Cheers, Eggert
