I would like to create/pre-populate all the postorius usernames for our list owners/list moderators using their university net username. Is there a way to do that?
You can create Django users via the Django admin interface (typically the ".../admin" sibling to the ".../postorius" and ".../hyperkitty" URLs. It shouldn't be too hard to automate this, but I don't know of such a script. Django channels might be a better place to ask for that.
But after that things may get complicated. Are you migrating from an existing list server and want to link the new users to existing lists? I think this can be done as long as you link the appropriate owner addresses to each user. Hopefully those are algorithmically related to the network login (ie, address = username@domain).
Also, if by "network login" you mean a SSO protocol such as SAML, you can populate users directly from a service provider such as Shibboleth. There's a well-known protocol called REMOTE_USER that Django participates in. There are a couple of speed bumps you may run into, but it's hard to be specific without more information on your particular situation.
