I've never used the web interface to create a list, so I don't know.
Specifically, I didn't know you could. Maybe post this question to
system-hackers?

Yeah, sorry.

"It works now" is a bad assumption. The reason most people don't use the
GNU Gnats (say that 3 times fast!) system is that it's not very nice to
work with.
I have been splitting things into multiple databases, and will probably
need to hack Gnats a little bit to make it do what I want. Thankfully,
it's under new maintainership so the changes will get fed upstream pretty
quickly.
The hardest part is going to be smooth authentication/authorization
between savannah and gnats. Probably initially, you'll need to have a
"What is your gnats password", with an explanation that it's totally
insecure so please choose a different password.
