I already did a lot of work using django, jquery, and some python 
libraries. All is accessible on :
http://dev.arbrows.org
We already put it in beta production at : http://archives.rezo.net.
The main goal of this project, is to have a "generic" webapp for all 
mailing list managers(mailman, sympa, ...), and it should be a good idea 
to create an open REST API.
We have a lot of ideas for arbrows futur, but well I have not really 
time atm to work full time on this project, i'm walking slowly.

If you're interested to help me/us, please contact me, it'll be a pleasure.

Bests,
