Hi all,

I'm in the process of testing the conversion from Fedora's current mailman
2.1 instance to a test 3.0 instance. I realize the import21 command is
currently pretty naive and does not migrate most of the settings, nor the
member lists.
I've looked at bug 965532 [1] and more recently the email thread about
creating such a script during GSOC [2], and unless I'm mistaken nothing
moved in that general area during the summer. Am I right or did I miss
something?

I'd like to work on that, if that's the right time and no-one else is
working on it.
I'll probably extend the import21 command to convert the other settings. I
understand the tricky part is to convert email addresses in 2.1 to users in
3.0, so that's probably going to be a separate module with its own tests.
At least it'll serve as a point of reference and we'll be able to refine
the use cases and the algorithm later on.

What do you think? Bad timing? Any existing work I'm missing?

Aurélien
