Post from these nonmembers go through normal checks (spam, for
example) before being distributed.

"List default" means "this user has not made a choice, so Mailman will
check what is 'normal' for the list in the list's configuration".

In detail, Postorius is intended to allow users and list
administrators to *modify* configurations.  At delivery time, these
configurations "cascade", typically in this way:

- if this subscription has a setting, apply it, and return; if not
- if the address this subscription delivers to has a setting, apply
  it, and return; if not
- if the user who owns that address has a setting, apply it, and
  return; if not
- if the list that is subscribed to has a setting, apply it, and
  return;
- otherwise, use the fallback setting from the source code.

In Postorius, the "no setting" option is displayed in such a way that
the person considering changing the setting knows what the next level
of the cascade is.  "List default" means "this user has not made a
choice, so Mailman will check what is 'normal' for the list in the
list's configuration".

"Default processing" is a regular option, that can be applied to this
post.  It means "check if the user is allowed to post at all, then
check for reasons (eg, spam) why this post might not be OK".  Usually
"list normal" is also "Default processing", but it might be "Hold for
moderator", for example.

On the other hand, Mark's script will return the option that will be
applied using the logic of the cascade.

I don't think it does.

I don't understand what you want.  The "mailman shell interaction"
that Mark posted earlier gives you exactly the list of members who can
post to the specified list.  If some are "trusted users" who don't go
through the spam checker, etc, they are displayed with Action.accept.
Other posters are displayed with Action.defer.  But both will
automatically be distributed as long as they appear to be legit posts
(not spam, etc).
