MailerContrib allows use of a group name for subscriptions.

What's the standard for a group name?

In Users.pm: expandUserList(), it seems to say:

$TWiki::regex{mixedAlphaNum}_\.\,\s\%]*

whereas in WebNotify.pm:_load(), it seems to be:

$webRE?($TWiki::regex{wikiWordRegex})

I'm not sure if this is a MailerContrib issue, or belongs elsewhere.

In my case, I'm running a custom UserMapping so I can hold my

users and groups in ldap, and I need to have colons in my group names.

It would be really nice if there was just one place I could make that change.

Classically (before 4.2) group names had to be wikinames. They are now allowed to be anything permitted by the user mapping manager, which I guess is \w. The expression you quote above is as good as any.
