I've looked at a few lurker archivers and I wasn't blown away by its  
user interface.  That's apparently highly configurable though.

Lurker's GPL2 so that's fine.  I'd be quite hesitant about shipping  
Mailman with Lurker because it's something we don't control and it's  
not Python.  But I would be totally open to working with the Lurker  
developers on creating an easy bridge between the two systems.   
Perhaps this dovetails with Jeff's suggestion of easier integration  
with external archiving systems.

Does anybody have contacts with the Lurker community that could cross- 
post a new thread to get the discussion going?

(The same goes for any other archiver out there too.)
