Developers of Sympa

[Olivier Salaün - CRU <address@concealed>]

You are right, we don't use locks while writing the stats file, mainly 
because Sympa has evolved and it was not initially designed initially 
for concurent access.

Currenlty sympa uses locks only while  synchronizing members with 
external datasource because it can take some time. If we were adding 
lock magement for stats and config, we would probably use the same 
subroutines (tools::lock() and tools::unlock())
