can't add an error message on top of listinfo page

[Anna SdG]

When creating a new list, an error message at the top of the create page can appear when, for instance, the input is wrong or information is missing.

It would be useful to have a simular solution for the listinfo page when the subscriber has entered wrong input or information is missing. Today, upon clicking the subscribe button one gets to a page displaying "Subscription results" including possible error messages. It is confusing to get the results when the subscription didn't go through. It would be better to get the error messages at the top of the page (in red).

Has this been fixed?

No it hasn't.

This is really a mailman bug. We should find out if it has already been improved in MM3, and if not, can we contribute a solution.
