I'm not familiar with moira, but how hard would it be to be able to
tag an entry with an arbitrary string, or even an arbitrary list of
tags and strings. That way, I could take a mailing list, and tag each
one with the ordered pair (discuss-acl,aorsw), except the chairman,
who would get tagged with (discuss-acl,acdorsw). This is coming
directly from my fingers now, so don't expect something perfect. This
way, the discuss server update could build the correct acl, and leave
it somewhere for the meeting's admin to copy in. If you trust moira,
you can just have it copied in automatically via crontab.
While we're on a related subject, it would be nice if meetings could
be pointed at by hesiod pointers. It's just a Better Way of Doing It
(tm).
