This is already 99% done for the sourceware mailing lists.

Is there a need for "full" indexing as opposed to "basic"?  I don't
see why we'd need another text search engine for this stuff, we
already have.  The basic "v1" with basic indexing seems fine and
effective for web and nntp.

We can hack a postfix->|mailman and |inbox-mda alias-fork
and dual pipe delivery for each mailing list.
