From a Debian point of view this isn't much of a problem, I might
create a patched mailman-searchable-archives package that depends on
htdig, eventually factoring out common parts to yield:
mailman mailman-searchable-archives
\ / \
mailman-common htdig
but it doesn't address concerns about pipermail. MM 3 seems to
me to be an opportunity to address all these issues, we might
learn from ht://Dig or Xapian (both written in perl and C iirc)
to implement an enhanced pipermail.
These are only first thoughts, before deciding which way to go a lot
of research is still necessary and I'm open to any suggestions.

Siggy
