I would say you should try to retain copyright, and have the Mailman

This agrees with my view of the situation as well. Which leads to the
question, is the above approach interesting/viable for Mailman-team?
(assuming the code does something awesome that people want)
If the question is just "would you like another archiver even if the
licenses don't match?" then I believe the answer is yes. I think it
would be really beneficial for us to have more than one archiver on the
table sooner rather than later, and working with you to make sure all
the plumbing is there to connect things would be really beneficial to
us. The licensing issue might mean you're probably not guaranteed a
blessing as the standard archiving utility for Mailman, but that never
stopped other projects like MhonArc!
But... since you arrived around the same time GSoC started, I should ask
whether you were hoping to do this as a GSoC project? It'd be a
worthwhile project to put out there, but it might be lower priority for
us than more direct development, since one of the goals of GSoC is to
get new developers who are going to stay around and do future work with
the project.
