I don't see this.  Mailman is an auth consumer.  The only people
Mailman can provide auth for are the site admins.  Everybody else is
more or less untrustworthy.

I can see that there are applications where it would be useful to have
an auth provider bundled with Mailman, but I think implementing it is
somebody else's job.

I think generic auth provider is overkill for these purposes, and a
trap for anybody who thinks we know enough about crypto/security to do
this stuff well.
