[sudo-sys] Pending mediawiki accounts and sudo-sys admin stuff

[Marc Juul]

We had a problem where someone installed a plugin that requires people to
request an account, and then a wiki admin has to confirm the account.
Unfortunately whoever set it up did not configure the plugin to send emails
to notify anyone of pending accounts. This has caused two accounts to be
pending, one since the 28th of May. I have confirmed these accounts and set
up the plugin to send emails to the sudo-sys list every time someone
requests an account and confirms their email address. I also patched the
ConfirmAccount plugin to allow multiple destination emails. To add email
addresses to receive these emails, change the $wgConfirmAccountContact in
LocalSettings.php. To view the patched code, simple grep for Juul in the
extensions/ConfirmAccount directory.

We also had a problem where no-one was being emailed about pending messages
for the sudo-sys list. I added myself and Jordan (hope that's ok, but
otherwise you know how to remove yourself). Other people can add themselves
via the mailman admin interface:

There is still a problem where the link to the mailman admin page is broken
from:
