# Well there seems to be a bit of discussion on list-managers about
# privacy of addresses on lists. I figure this should be handled somehow
# by majordomo. What I am proposing is the following:
# 
# 
# 	private_who
# 	private_which
# 
# get extended along with the other privates to be
# 
# 	private_* = [yes, no, password <password>, none]
# 
# so the options are:
# 
# 	private_who: yes	# only people on list can do a who
# 	private_who: no		# anybody can do a who
# 	private_who: password WhOAmI  # you need to specify the pasword
# 				      # to do a who
# 
# 	private_who: none	# the who command is disabled to everybody

The password in the "password" setting should be optional (i.e., the
syntax should be "password [<password>]", and if it's not specified,
should default to the main list password.  Although the ability to use
a different password for each command might be useful to some folks, I
don't want to have to change N different passwords every time I want
to change the list password.
