I started using Trac just after this.  Although I scanned the mailing
list archive, I must not have noticed your post.  Sorry.

I agree.  I have posted changes which are a superset of yours that move
all of the functionality from trac-admin (just leaving the user
interface) to another file.  The idea is that different user interfaces
or scripts can access the administration functions without having to
call trac-admin.

My latest post on this is here:

I only received one comment on my changes which was positive.  =)

> All comments welcome.

I plan on doing a little bit of cleanup on my changes and maybe even
write a GUI version of trac-admin.  Before I do that, I'll take a
look at your patch to make sure that what I provide won't prevent
you from doing what you're doing now.

If you have the time, please take a look a my patch and let me know
if my changes also address your need.

Thanks.
