[dev] Mailman list management module anyone?

We would be willing to help with this project (on the clock even).  As this is
something we've wanted to implement in our horde instance at the office.

Our main hurdle is that we'd first need mailman to have an Auth: method against
LDAP, currently it keeps separate user tables independently.  

After the authentication issue is resolved... the degree of 'hordeifying' could
vary greatly... as simple as a proxy pass inside the horde content frame, or as
fancy as a full re-write of the user configuration documents to make them horde
happy.

Even if the project doesn't deem it a 'worthy' module addition... please post
your findings somewhere as a resource for horde administrators. ;-)
