Note that it would require lots of additional record keeping to implement
time-based access.
It would require access to information on subscriptions. These are managed
by the mailing list software, which is completely independent. Strictly
speaking, it would also preclude using the importer to load any messages that
were sent before the Pony Mail archiver itself was subscribed to the mailing
list. Also the number of people able to view the earliest archive messages
would gradually reduce to zero.
As to the original comment regarding committers potentially seeing comments
about their election etc, that is intrinsic to archived mailing lists. Perhaps
that aspect of mailing lists needs to be better documented, but to be effective
that documentation belongs elsewhere so it is seen before a posting is sent to
an archived mailing list.
