[BlueOnyx:07104] Majordomo setup

Hi,

I have a few points to be adressed in the majordomo setup resp. in the
configs generated (which I currently see as pretty useless or even
dangerous):

1. All lists include nobody which maps to admin, means admin User gets
every mail that is sent over any list on the server. I haven't found a
reason for this yet. If there is good reason, I'd appreciate some hits
with the clue-stick.
2. The lists are open to all sorts of abuse (i.e. who listname), I can't
see any reason to have the who access open, even to listmembers.

Are the devs planning a new release or would they be open for a patch
submissions so that the configs created are actually meaningful ?

While it would probably be easier to just fix things with a 5min
cronjob, I'd think it's a good candidate to fix it in BlueOnyx itself. I
guess I could manage to fix the files in questions and send in patches,
however I'd need somebody to review and pack them from the devs. And I
don't want to waste my time if i.e. there is no interested as you plane
to move away from majordomo with the next release.

Is there any interest in fixing this or should I just programmatically
invoke the sed-awk festival every 5mins ?

Thanks,
Christoph
