I would recommend that the SSL CA that was generated during the Apache-SSL installation be used, and once the certificates are signed, the CA will have to be passworded which a fairly long password so brute force hacking would really not serve any purpose. To do this, Although the chance of man-in-the-middle attack (and even getting the CA certificate/key itself) is extremely rare, it's better safe then sorry.

Hi,

We are planning to add the basic Mailman support in Savannah. There is
a recent script in Savane called "sv_mailman" that does the job
locally.

To make it work in a remote machine (lists.gnu.org), we would
basically:

- install sv_mailman (and the backend libraries) at lists.gnu.org
  under user mailman; this requires installing some libraries, such as
  Perl DBI

- create a new MySQL user at Savannah to read/write on table
  'mail_group_list',

- configure the savane 'backend' at lists.gnu.org to connect to
  savannah instead of localhost for database access, so it can read
  and update the mailing list informations as if they were local. We
  will use SSL connections (certificate at both ends) using stunnel.

Do you have any comment?
