PURPOSE
Mass mailing is currently a bit messy. As SMS will be added as a way to notify
people in mass through SMS let us take this opportunity to somehow clean this
application: organization, light code cleaning, model renaming.
SPECIFICATIONS
Rename mail.mass_mailing model to mailing.mailing. Rationale :
* mailing is now a prefix for mass mailing models;
* mailing.mailing is easier to read / find / understand;
Note that mail.mass_mailing.campaign is not updated as it is likely to be
removed soon and replaced by simple utm.campaign model.
MIGRATION
mail.mass_mailing model -> mailing.mailing
mail_mass_mailing table -> mailing_mailing

PURPOSE
Mass mailing is currently a bit messy. As SMS will be added as a way to notify

application: organization, light code cleaning, model renaming.
SPECIFICATIONS
Rename mail.mass_mailing.list and mail.mass_mailing.list to mailing.list
and mailing.list.merge. Rename mail.mass_mailing.contact to mailing.contact.
Rename mail.mailing_list.list_contact_rel to mailing.contact.subscription.
Rationale :
* those new names are easier to understand: mailing.list and mailing.contact
are less mail-related, especially taking into account that SMS will allow
to be less mail-oriented;
* those names are easier to read / find / understand;
* align wizard and sub-models naming with the main naming;
* have a mailing as first part of namespacing;
MIGRATION
mail.mass_mailing.list model -> mailing.list
mail.mass_mailing.list.merge model -> mailing.list.merge
mail.mass_mailing.contact model -> mailing.contact
mail.mass_mailing.list_contact_rel model -> mailing.contact.subscription
mail_mass_mailing_contact_list_rel table -> mailing_contact_list_rel (specific
case of a decorated m2m)
fields updated (no column change)
* mailing.list: subscription_contact_ids -> subscription_ids

Purpose
=======
Mailing lists are not flexible. It should be possible to merge mailing lists and remove duplicates when doing it.
Specification
=============
- When selecting records, in the action menu, add "Merge selected mailing lists"
- A modal will open :
- There's the choice between merging the contacts into a new mailing list or an existing one
- There's the choice to archive the source mailing lists or not
- The duplicates are avoided in the destination mailing list
- Opt-out contacts are not copied in the destination list
- Preserved explicit 3rd-party copyright notices
- Explicit boilerplate should not be necessary - copyright law applies
automatically in all countries thanks to Berne Convention + WTO rules,
and a reference to the applicable license is clear enough.
