Here is what I'd like to see: Everyone who uses Mailman's web-based interface (at a particular virtual host) would get a choice of two authentication methods: * authentication via password (similar to what we have today with the difference that for each email address there would be only one password, not multiple passwords (like there are today for people who are subscribed to multiple lists). * authentication via cookies: Put a "passcode" into a never-expiring cookie and send a confirmation email to the user with an URL to visit. People who access Mailman from multiple PCs need to go through this authentication procedure multiple times. If someone has moderator or list-owner privileges, I'd like the chosen authentication method to also work for that.
