Thanks for your reply. I am currently studying the existing implementations mhonarc and mailarchive (both in src/mailman/archiving) and also Hyperkitty.
Good!
Someone also mentioned in the thread that studying the GNU mailman architecture in the "The Architecture of Open Source Applications" would be helpful. Is that applicable to this scenario? I will come up with a draft implementation on Thursday.
This article will give you a great introduction into the general architecture of the Mailman core, so it will certainly benefit you to read it. However, this particular project will probably require only minimal (if any) changes to the core.
It's a good idea to code a simple draft to check out how the IArchiver interface works. But at this point in the GSoC application phase it's also very important to think about where you want to go with this project, like: Which backend(s) to choose for a start, what possible use cases could be etc.
