Developers of Sympa

[Olivier Salaun - CRU <address@concealed>]

Hi David,

Thanks for letting us know about your improvements, it should help us 
make RPM packages better.
The best way to submit your changes is our bug tracking system, that 
allows file upload.

Maybe we'll manage to apply your fixes for the next 4.1 release...
