Bug Description

bin/rmlist creates a regexp to match held message files with names of the form heldmsg-LISTNAME-* to remove them from Mailman's data/ directory. If the list name contains a '+', the created regexp won't match, and if it contains '++' the regexp is invalid and rmlist throws sre_constants.error.
