Does mailman have to an an integrated archiver? Isn't this another 
variant of the "integrated MTA" discussion?

I'd prefer, honestly, splitting out pipermail (or it's successor) 
into a separately tracked project, and building a standard interface 
that will work with it and with other archivers, like Mhonarc. That 
way, a separate team can be built to work on Pipermail, and releases 
of each piece don't have to be wedged into the same schedule, and you 
simplify the complexity of each project to improve focus....
