A problem you would have to work out with this approach is how to properly
integrate this when a site/list could have multiple enabled archivers, some or
all of which are remote to the Mailman system.  Remember that in MM3 we won't
have an integrated archiver like Pipermail that we can just assume will be
there.  Even the web ui isn't as tightly integrated any more.

This doesn't mean you can't still do this.  See for example the additions our
stable url proposed add-ons to RFC 5064 as an example of how you would have to
think about this.
