HyperKitty isn't a switch - it's the native web gateway that becomes
available by way of upgrading to Mailman 3. The MM3 upgrade is worth
doing for a whole host of reasons independently of gaining access to
HyperKitty (e.g. one account per user with optional per-list
subscription settings, rather than the MM2 model of user settings
being stored independently for each list).

If Mark is willing to shepherd an MM3 upgrade on a volunteer basis,
that would be excellent, but I also expect it to be a fair bit of
work.

Cheers,
Nick.
