Has there been any work on generating an rss feed from a mailman archive?
I got the HyperArchive.py patch to work but the body comes out wrong. The perl scraper seems to have slightly better output but generates some ugly html escaping.
The goal is to generate a blog-like activity summary using the tite, author, date, and body of each mail sent to the list and slap it on the main page. Some nice markup would be useful as well.
The site is here:

I do this for some lists I run, but by using SWISH-E as a search engine. Once you're indexing the archive, it's simple to turn it into a feed that includes feeding on a search term ... or just a plain old "everything" feed.

Is there any interest in the Mailman project for 'optional features' to be added? I'd be happy to providing a cookbook or maybe even patches to configure et al.
