[Bigbang-dev] paper on IETF and mailing list analysis

[Niels ten Oever]

Nice find Nick - also no idea how I missed this.

I personally liked the deduplication paper better than the Analysis of
IETF activity paper, the graph on affiliation is rly nice and useful
though.

Happy to link with other people and understand their approaches!

Best,

Niels
