Description

Judging by ​https://diswww.mit.edu/menelaus/asa-db/703 and some testing, mailman fails if the human-readable name for an address being added has a comma. We should escape those or others make this not an issue.

It looks like it works if you use quotes. I can't find a sane way to escape quotes, though, so we probably want to delete them or something.

    Fix util/mailman.py's commas handling (Trac: #65)
    
    Changes util/mailman.py and groups/diffs.py so that groups with names
    including commas can be correctly added and removed from asa-official.
