[MM3-users] Re: How to create (or change) certain member preferences (in a list, or for all lists) by command line "mailman create [OPTIONS] LISTNAME" ? (Suggestion: modification of this command)

Some member preferences - such as hide_address - cannot be set with the [OPTIONS] in the command line.

I suggest to modify the code so that all member preferences can be set via the command line. What do you think?

This is how I currently patch (some) member preferences (hide_address is a variable here) in a python script, but this takes a lot of time, depending on the number of users.... YMMV.

If you do this via a mailman shell script rather than the REST API, it should be significantly faster as it will avoid the per-user network connections.

Note that changing various list options such as preferred_language does not affect existing members.
