Not having looked into exactly how it works and if it's something we want,
but if we want to, any reason we can't just point it at the svn mirror?

Plus, I see something on their blog saying taht they do support cvs as long
as it's pserver. So perhaps part of the docs aren't up-to-date...

Can't say I do. But even if nobody does, maybe we should just set it up and
test? I'd be particularly interested to see how it actually interacts with
email. From a quick reading, you have to do all the discussion on the web
and it can dump them out to a list. But not read in a discussion from a
list.
