[Mailman-Developers] Regarding GSoC 2016 project ideas
Hello, I am Sreyas Chaithanya studying in Indian Institute of Technology (BHU), Varanasi. I found the GitLab/development tools integration idea interesting. I would like to work on that project in GSoC 2016. I wrote the core of an event management system in my college in Django and python2.7 but I’m also comfortable with python3. Could someone help me get started?

Re: [Mailman-Developers] Congratulations to us! We're officially in GSoC again!
Let me add my thanks and congratulations to the team and mentors, and welcome to our prospective students, for what I'm sure will be another exciting GSoC year for us. It's great to see some contributions already coming in, and good discussions already happening on this list. Cheers, -Barry ___ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
[Mailman-Developers] Congratulations to us! We're officially in GSoC again!
... especially to Florian, who seems to be on his way to becoming MGOAFL (Mailman GSoC Org Admin For Life)[1]. And of course Barry (who has a real -FL title!), and the mentors. All that goes without saying, sort of, but I'd also like to mention all the folks who have been following this list and occasionally posting a comment or suggestion. Another special thanks to several folks who haven't signed up as mentors (yet! we can always use more[2]) but have offered various kinds of advice. I'd also like to mention that we'd really like to be in cooperation with the Systers again this year, both for the dlist project Barry mentioned (good to see you back, Pranjal!) and they have some stuff they're doing with statistics dashboard for admins (subscriptions, unsubscriptions, posts, etc.) Comments on the GSoC ideas page (and more ideas!): http://wiki.list.org/DEV/Google_Summer_of_Code_2016 are welcome.

I'd imagine there could be some use for people wanting say, to handle
five-character localparts of an address, although it's an in-elegant
approach, it's something a user can understand, without needing to
understand regexp ("all our new subscriptions are five characters
before the @ sign. I want to block them").

True. (I was picking on mail.ru, as it's one of the common ones that I
find quite irresponsible).

Are they going to use *@* necessarily, or just *@? (unless they want
subdomains when "*@*.mail.ru" might be acceptable).

Agree.

In the blacklisting case, it's against words in Subject: lines, as well as Sender:/From: headers.
