[midPoint] mailman3 list management

Dear all,

this is possibly a more conceptual question:

We do currently introduce mailman3 as our new list server and I want to 
manage the list membership for our employees using Midpoint.

I.e., new employees should be subscribed to a specific list, and retiring 
employees should be unsubscribed. In my understanding, the best way would be 
to let midpoint push the information to mailman3 using a connector, but 
there seems to be no special connector.

So, there are several possible solutions:
- The easiest way would be to trigger a script on the mailman3 server. Is 
this possible e.g. with the SSH connector?
- Let the mailman3 system query midpoint for all active employees, i.e. by a 
cron job. This does not fix with my understanding of midpoint, but maybe I 
am wrong?
- ???

Maybe somebody has already connected a mailing list server to Midpoint? Any 
advice is appreciated!

Viele Grüße,
