I agree that having Pipermail install "out of the box" with Mailman is a
definite plus. Htdig is rapidly becoming a very popular add-on to those
dynamic Duo (helped along by the great work that Richard Barrett does in
keeping the patches up-to-date!).
Is there a reason you wouldn't want to simply include Htdig as part of
the "out of the box" install?
Are you thinking that we can port ht://dig over to Python and then
improve it performance? :-)
