It is part of mailman distribution, so I removed it. In fact, it probably always came from there, but I added it a few years ago because I was looking for it and did not looked at the appropriate place (and no one was apparently able to tell me it was in mailman package, at that time; or I dumbly forgot to ask to the right person). Apart from that, I do not think it is a good method to use http to interact will mailman. It is not secure, it is resources consuming. I think that interaction should only be made via the SQL server, that is designed for that. That's why I wrote sv_mailman, that creates mailings list on the mail server, and change the status field in the relevant SQL table, so the PHP interface just have to look in the database to know if the list exists, instead of going over http.
