Please consider the patch at
http://nxsy.org/files/mailman-true-virtual.patch, which basically
encodes the urlhost in the lists' internal names and thus allows
lists with identical names on different virtual hosts. This patch
augments #351431 and likely obsoletes #345051 (on debbugs-cc).

I ended up having to rewrite the patch, and it's currently being
tested. This will be a while...

Hallo Martin,

Do you have the new patch online anywhere?

And could you outline how migration from stock mailman works and how much 
damage to the configurations an update by the next unpatched mailman 
version (when I will have forgotten that my mailman is patched :-) might 
do?

thanks & cheers

(no ETA for my little task, though, since I work 27./28. and am away over 
new year)

Oh, so you mean that we can both get a more secure system, *and* make
emacs stop working?  A win-win situation! =)

nö. upstream is blocking the patch for #440162, which is kinda
necessary.

I have no idea. I'd say you cannot migrate since the list IDs
change.
