Um, only in your old model for subscription attempts.
I'll now attempt to show you a simpler way, with the caveat that I
need to finish the defer stuff that I half-did the other week.
Subscribe {
my $self = shift;
my $message = shift;
my $list = $self->list;
my $siesta = $list->siesta;
my $new_message = 'From: $sender\nTo: foo-request\n\nsubscribe $list->name\n";
$siesta->process( mail => $new_message, list => $list, action => 'request' );
}
Then, Request is written like:
Request {
my $self = shift;
my $message = shift;
if ($messgae =~ /confirm $id/) {
my $actions = $list->get_deferred($id);
# do the actions
...
return;
}
$message->defer( for => confirm );
$message->reply( 'you're going to have to confirm that' );
}
To finish:
CREATE TABLE defer (
id ...,
for ..., # who can unlock this from the defer queue
why ..., # why it's in the queue/where to put it when it's unlocked
delete_after ..., # so yes, I just added it
message TEXT
)
And make the defer methods work against that.
Though complex, I think it's already sharable between Request and
MembersOnly, so the web interface can approve non-member posts
etc. without over-coding.

A YAML storage backend could be quite cool, apart from then we
magically get all of the locking/permissions pains back that we used
to have with SQLite before I moved this install over to mysql.

I think No and Yes, respectively.
