The SUBSCRIBE command has the following arguments :
        1- listname
        2- gecos

The ADD command also recognizes the gecos argument.

A user/owner may also edit the Gecos using the web interface.

Currently the gecos is stored in the "user_table" table, which
causes some problems (a single gecos for all lists).

That's a good idea, we could use the From: free-form name to initialize
the gecos.

Thanks
