Thanks Abhilash, I have just finished going through the Architecture of mailman and was looking into the GSOC projects for 2016. I saw from the mailing list that some students have already started reading on 2 of the projects, so I think I can start on GitLab/development tool integration. I am going to start the research on the integration from tonight. If you have any pointers to share regrading this project please let me know.
