majordomo-workers@greatcircle.com, but you should be aware that the
current 1.9.x versions are basically under a code freeze while 2.0 is
being worked on.  Only bug fixes are going in.  The new 2.0 version will
probably include this too (it's including most everything), but it's still
a good ways from being released.
