[Mailman-Developers] GSOC Project idea: OpenPGP integration

[Abhilash Raj]

Hi all,

I made a small list[1] of deliverable for this project and required changes
in mailman for it. Can you all please review it and comment on how can it
be improved.

Also there are two points that I am not able to think on,

1) When a message is decrypted and then passed on between the queues, it
creates a security threat for the cleartext message is being held in
memory, even for a small time in between the runners.

2) Which one is the best standard to be implemented for encryption/signing
of the email?
