I talked to people on #launchpad-dev, as suggested by barry to investigate about the possibility of using grackle as new archive framework for mailman. The project isn't functional yet. There are two parts, client and back-end service to store the messages. Client will hopefully be completed by end of next week.
For backend-service implementation, i am also thinking to get involved during its development. They are planning to have cassandra based store for storing the messages. Any thoughts about which backend service would be ideal to store messages for mailman installations ?
On IRC, we talked about a storm + Python mailbox library based backend, with a REST+JSON wsgi based application vending the data. This would allow us to integrate fairly easily with MM3 I think, and would possibly better enable some of the archiver work being done by Terri and others.
