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. 

Thanks!
