Oops, sorry about that piece of mail that got away from me.

While people have requested bothe halves of this feature, there is
also some concern aboult the implications of the first half of the
change. Specifically, anyone can add anyone else to any public list
(and if they want to be really annoying they can add the person as a
string). I'm not convinced this is necessarily a showstopper, but we
should think about it carefully, and make sure the accounts people are
comfortable with it. As of right now I'm not sure whether I think
this is acceptable. The second half of the patch is fine.
I didn't give the code a thurough review, but I didn't see any problems.
