Sure, but please remember that *you* have a deadline.  When you write
up requirements, make sure you distinguish between "what Mailman
should have to be a good citizen" and "what Alex promises for GSoC".

I *guess* that what others are talking about is the latter.  IMO
Barry's pragmatic test (a quickie driver around nntplib and TBird
should be able to read articles) is what you should be aiming at
first.
