It's a GOOD question. I think it's because...

Majordomo is written in PERL which is readily available and easy to 
install on just about any computer...like the Raq (where it already 
is bundled). LOL

Mailman is "written in" Python which is NOT readily available and 
would represent an additional installation (and ONLY for the mail 
list since PERL can do almost everything PYTHON can).

Well then, you may ask, why didn't they do THIS list in Majordomo? 
:-) Maybe because they wanted a web page archive for it and the web 
archive program for Majordomo, MHonark, may not install very well 
with the Raq's version of Majordomo.

So, finally, WHY is there an "unorthodox" (since Gerald gets a kick 
out of that term) version of Majordomo on this box? So folks can 
build lists with the GUI.

I think that's true but I could be wrong since only the people who 
made this decision can answer positively.
