I'd love to see something like this, although I admit that hacking new
features into Pipermail is very low on my list of priorities.  I (still)

and either make improvements, or investigate replacements using Zest and
ArchNG ideas.

For Mailman 3, I'm open to almost any option for the archiver component.
