It seems it was removed from Mailman as well :)
Incidentally, there is some code you may want to clean up in www/mail/
admin/index.php, where depending on a SQL-stored project property, the
script uses the old sfverify method and sends an e-mail mentioning
fencepost.
I'll check whether changing the method is possible at Savannah (since
sfverify was removed during Mailman upgrade).

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.
