It would be a surprise to me. I wrote that script when setting up
Gna!. And I know for sure there was no such script used in the past.

As I said, there is no point in providing in Savane an insecure and
limited way to do things when we do already provide something
integrated and secure. Clearly, supporting sfverify which looks no
longer supported upstream does not bring benefit. 

It is so simple to use sv_mailman, it can only be a problem only if
you have to deal with people that does not allow you to do that
trivial task but dont do it themselves. And if you have such problem,
it is not a software problem but a management one.
