[Bigbang-dev] new IETF email archive system

[Niels ten Oever]

Hi Nick,

I think we can talk to the IETF tools team and understand what will
remain possible, and what won't.

That said, it might be interesting to work on this during the IETF
hackathon preceding the meeting in Singapore. Would you be interested in
joining that?

Best,

Niels
