Hi Ted, Today I learned about https://esdiscuss.org/ <https://esdiscuss.org/> which is like an archiver viewer for disc...@mozilla.org pipermail mailing list
All their code is at https://github.com/esdiscuss <https://github.com/esdiscuss> This still preserves pipermail as the one source of truth but it allows better searching and visibility. There is even a reply button which opens up a mail client presumably the correct headers.
