hmmm, I use the h.close() a bit after (I catche its latest ID so that I ca 
build the direct URL for my indexer). But for now, I guess I'm done.
I've opened a bug (didn't figure where I could put my stuff) on launchpad: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/531942
It contains my scripts, and some informations on how to use them.

Indeed, "arch" script uses locks. I copied it, removed the lock stuff, and used 
this version. All work fine now.

I'm happy I could understand a bit (well... very little bit) how mailman works.

Thanks again !
