[clo-devel] Fixing wrong mailman listnames.

Many months ago something happened to our mailinglist config files
(they are named config.pck by Mailman).  I don't recall the details
but I think maybe it was a bug in Mailman.

Anyway, the result was that the "real_name" attribute of some
mailinglists was changed to some other mailinglist's name.  For
instance, Alastair just noticed that cl-cli-parser-cvs was named
beep-cvs (everything still works; it's just the real_name attribute
that's wrong).

I think I've fixed most of these but there's a script that will do it
for any that's still missing:

  /custom/bin/fix-wrong-list-name.py cl-cli-parser-cvs \
      /custom/sys/mailman/mailman/lists/cl-cli-parser-cvs/config.pck

So you pass it the correct real_name and then the config file to edit.
 (I just took care of this for cl-cli-parser-cvs.)

Thanks,
Erik.
