I have to defer this patch until after MM2.1 since we're
about ready for the first release candidate.

Adding a vote of support for this patch. Please add it as
soon as it's appropriate! I've been waiting a long time for
this functionality and I'd hate to see the patch bitrot. :-)

Another vote of support. I actually submitted an
enhancement request earlier today for exactly this.

My vote goes to a PGP whitelist and blacklist feature.
Messages signed with a key present in the whitelist could go
skip moderation, messages in the blacklist would be either
ignored or rejected, and all other messages could go through
moderation. That way, PGP signatures are not required, but
those using them would see their messages delivered quickly.
Mailman would have two keyrings, and would manage them by
specifying --keyring to gpg. PGP keys would be retreived
from a PGP key server. When moderating a message that was
signed with a key missing from the whitelist, there would be
an option named "Add key to whitelist", and an other one for
the blacklist. Keys could be added to the white/blacklist
through the web interface by specifying at least a key ID,
and mailman would ask gpg to fetch the key from mailman's
default key server.

I'll look at incorporating this when I look at the
SecureList patch by NAH6 (SF patch #646989, currently.)

One might like to take a look at patch #1167696 too. It
implements
about the same functionality. As an added bonus, it has some
documentation :)
