Full ACK.

There was the software used at gmane.org, which for many years provided
not only a web archive to mailing lists, but also NNTP access. In fact,
I believe their custom NNTP ssrver was actually the main storage backend.
Unfortunately when gmane.org went down it never really recovered, and I
believe the original source code was never released as it was deemed
unfit for any wider use by the author[s]?
It's really sad that there are no better, mailing-list
interoperable/compatible web forum systems out there.
mailman3 with hyperkitty looks like an interesting approach, but
importing the osmocom.org list archives on a 16-core machine with 32GB
of RAM took more than 3 days, at which point I deemed it as "not fit for
production".
This is getting more and more off-topic... but I realy like the e-mail
integration of redmine. You can receive ticket updates by e-mail and
respond to them, both by e-mail and online. But it's not a
general-purpose discussion tool, but an issue tracker. gerrit's e-mail
integration is also getting better and better with every release, btw.
Regards,
Harald
