I do think List Admins would want an interface to help "manage" a user account on behalf of a user then what is currently available in Postorius.
Oh, no question about that whatsoever. I'm quite surprised that this facility isn't present yet. (I rarely make mistakes in mass subscribe and the defaults work fine for my subscribers -- or they make their own changes -- so I can't recall ever encountering this need.)
I wonder if in Mailman 3 where user profiles exist and are clearly *not* subject to control by *list* admins in the same way that subscriptions are, and in this day of GDPR etc if maybe we need to restrict admin access to various user properties. This sounds like a rather difficult design problem.
I don't see this functionality built into Mailman 3 nowhere near the extent that Mailman 2 has.
Web interfaces are supposed :-( to be easy enough for Great-Grandma to use, so I imagine the designers didn't think much admin intervention would be needed.
My approach with Affinity is definite leaning very heavy on the needs of list admins atm.
Perhaps that's a good division of responsibility between Postorius and Affinity dev processes. Something to think about.
