No, the archives are open; you don't need to be subscribed. I realize that
non-subscribers might not have any way to _discover_ that message, but that's a
different problem.

Yes. Consider:
I've got no help on this task; volunteers have thus far not been able to make
good on their intentions to help out. I have been reluctant to ask for help
from existing administrative contributors (yourself, adi, hawkowl) because
you've had your plates full as well.
Between now and then I've had PyCon, DockerCon, dozens of Twisted reviews, 2
weeks of vacation, numerous Twisted reviews and a plethora of other tasks at
work.
Due to the tightly-coupled nature of our infrastructure, the simple solutions
like "upgrade mailman" are not as trivial as they should be, so we are having
to take the proverbial long way around.
It's like that old adage from Fred Brooks: "How does a project get to be a year
late? One day at a time."
