The initial assumption was that the "mailing list mode" would offer a trivial solution for archiving purposes. However, this expectation has been met with some challenges, and it appears that the process may not be as straightforward as anticipated. The author of the email, Matt Corallo, expresses an openness to further discussion and suggestions on how to address this concern effectively.

There is an evident need to explore alternative methods or refinements to the "mailing list mode" to ensure that the archiving can be executed without complications. Stakeholders and contributors are encouraged to provide their insights or propose solutions that could rectify the matter at hand. This issue seems to be significant enough to warrant attention and collaborative problem-solving from those involved.
