Comment 2 for bug 1058445

1. The user index should contain all users, regardless of how they were added (it'll just be confusing otherwise and I can't think of any reason to divide up the subscribers)

2. That's actually all done within Mailman core, so take a look at how it's done there.

3. Again, check how Mailman core does it, but if I recall correctly we can search users by either email address and get the same person. I believe users have a canonical number and possibly a "primary" address you can use as an index.

4. Florian can probably help with this; I think he set up the original. I'd suggest that you set up a separate bug for it so it doesn't get buried in this larger bug.

5. They're probably duplicates and can be marked as such (I'll do this in a minute). I was cutting and pasting from Florian's email and probably just wasn't paying enough attention. We may eventually want to divide this bug up into several smaller pieces, but there's no obvious division there.
