Developers of Sympa

[Thomas Berry <address@concealed>]

  We could use an ability for Sympa to push self-subscribed addresses 
from Sympa to LDAP.  This would minimize the customer interface needed 
to review and manage members.

  Currently, for lists that are a combination of LDAP (group) and 
self-subscription, the list owners have to use the LDAP interface to 
change those members.  They also have to use the Sympa web interface to 
manage self-subscribed members.  If Sympa pushes self-subscribed members 
to the LDAP group, then the owners need only use the LDAP interface.
