Hmm, There's the issue of people's email addresses, it could become a gold
mine for spammers.
Isn't that data available through other means? Either from posts to
the lists, or logging in and seeing who is on the list in mailman2? Or
from various other methods. I am bringing this up because we could go
through all kinds of hoops here and the barn door has been open for
years.
The export could replace those with the UUID that Mailman generates
for each
user though, but that won't work for the email that was imported from
Mailman2 (unless the sender sent a mail though Mailman3 later).
I know HyperKitty's REST API should be improved anyway, though :-)

My understanding is that Matt wants to do this analysis periodically to get
usage statistics and tendencies.
