It makes sense.

For example, IMO web interface would be better to be rewritten
entirely: It's difficult to maintain, and has much redundant code
of Sympa main body.  SOAP is not so easy to use: It would be
replaced by RESTful web API.  And so on.


However, I might make some changes on svn for a while so that some
defects will be fixed, although such code will be removed in the
future.  I'll personally release it through my yum repository for
user of current 6.2.x (virtually 6.2.17).  So you are not concerned
about my changes on svn repo.

My account on GitHub is "ikedas".

I'll try to submit changes to git, too, however, please sync my
changes for some time.

Thank you for many helps.
