It's from CollabNet? Interesting.

It's a pretty interesting ML software they have. They can take
an e-mail and hold it on a mod queue and then have the mods
sending a response (allowing comments too?). Then sending
the approved message to both the mailing list and the forum.
That's a pretty cool.

With the mailer.py, if Collabnet had a nntp server, it'd be
a cool bonus. Of course, posting on the nntp server might
complicate their processes since they'd have to take the
nntp post and save it to the mailing list as well. And plus
the fact moderating nntp newsgroups is a whole different
ball game. (Read only nntp groups? Would do well for
svn and issues lists.)

Point well taken. :)
