Would someone like to work on providing the capability of replying to
the mailing list (or, alternatively, "Reply All") from the Web form of
reading the emacs-devel archives?  I asked the GNU staff and got this
in response:

It sounds like the job might be simple enough, provided that you have
a working knowledge of Perl programming.

If someone would like to make this happen, please respond to this
message, either to the list or to me privately.  If this feature is
added, it will probably benefit all the GNU mailing lists managed and
archived by mailman.
