This would definitely be a very interesting GSOC project! It might involve working on a couple of different ends of the mailman family, like the django web ui (launchpad.net/postorius), the archiver/searcher (see "hyperkitty" - Toshio Kuratomi probably has more details) and maybe even the Mailman3 core (see: launchpad.net/mailman). > In general, I think profiles should have the really straightforward > information: last time they started a conversation, last time they sent an > email to the list, when did they sign up, what time of the day are they > more active, etc. But it should be fairly easy to add cool stuff like, in > case a list allows the use of more than one language, the language the user > uses the most and maybe even percentages of usage, and with some > information retrieval we could get keywords to know what they like to talk > about the most.

I think a good place to start would be to install mailman and postorius and have a look at the code. Also, Toshio could probably tell you a little bit more about the current work on the archiver. You can also find us on irc (#mailman on freenode, my handle is florianf, Toshio's is abadger1999) if you run into problems or have any questions.
