I don't have time to work on Alioth, but JFTR, we (the GNU Mailman development team) recently announced the first full-suite beta release for Mailman 3. It's possible that even with the usual beta-quality issues, that MM3 would make a decent mailing list framework for this Debian use case. It has some interesting features that might make integration easier, and I would be highly motivated to help others adapt and extend MM3 for Debian's use. Contact me personally off-list or via IRC, or start the discussion on the mailman-develop...@python.org list. Cheers, -Barry
