Hi,

Thanks for submitting your bug. :)

Can you give me a little more intel on what you'd like to achieve by
modifying/allowing modifications of the urls set of the application?

Mind that adding such feature means allowing the shared memory of the django
app to be accessed by non-upstream code. Should a user badly implement
features, this could possibly compromise all his mailman3 setup. I'm not
sure it's a sane thing to do, but I'm not opposed to it either.

So, let's discuss, think, and we'll try to find an appropriate solution that
pleases anyone but does not compromise the app stability.

Cheers!

It's far easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.
