I have once written some software to fiddle with the subscription
database of Mailman2, and I guess that it's not rocket science to write
some software to migrate to a different infrastructure. I can understand
quite well if someone wants to avoid the migration work.

Semi-OT:
What Mailman2 has over mlmmj, is a useful web interface for many tasks.
What mlmmj has over Mailman2, is a much easier to handle configuration,
and likely much lighter resource usage.

If someone wants to talk to me directly about ML software, I am
interested.


Cheers,
