[Mailman-Developers] INTEREST IN IMPLEMENTING Message queue based email archiver

[Okusanya Damilola]

Thanks for your reply. I am currently studying the existing
implementations mhonarc
and mailarchive (both in src/mailman/archiving) and also Hyperkitty.
Someone also mentioned in the thread that studying the GNU mailman
architecture in the "The Architecture of Open Source Applications" would be
helpful. Is that applicable to this scenario? I will come up with a draft
implementation on Thursday.
