* general performance improvements, but without relying on
XS or pre-built modules any more than we currently do.
+ (Optional Inline::C and user-compiled re2c acceptable)
* mailmap support (same as git) for remapping expired email addresses
+* support remapping of expired URLs similar to mailmap
+ (coordinate with git.git with this?)
+
* POP3 server, since some webmail providers support external POP3:

Perhaps make this depend solely the NNTP server and work as a proxy.
yet storing large amounts of data on computers without a
public IP behind a home Internet connection.
+* support HTTP(S) CONNECT proxying to NNTP for users with
+ firewall problems
+
+* DHT (distributed hash table) for mapping Message-IDs to various
+ archive locations to avoid SPOF.
+
* optional Cache::FastMmap support so production deployments won't
need Varnish (Varnish doesn't protect NNTP, either)
* linkify thread skeletons better

-* streaming Email::MIME replacement: currently we generate many
+* low-memory Email::MIME replacement: currently we generate many
allocations/strings for headers we never look at and slurp
- entire message bodies into memory.
- (this is pie-in-the-sky territory...)
+ entire message bodies into memory. GMime+Inline::C could work.
* use REQUEST_URI properly for CGI / mod_perl2 compatibility
with Message-IDs which include '%' (done?)
* imperfect scraper importers for obfuscated list archives
(e.g. obfuscated Mailman stuff, Google Groups, etc...)
-* consider using HTTP::Date instead of Date::Parse, since we need the
- former is capable of parsing RFC822-ish dates, used by Plack, and
- the latter is missing from OpenBSD and maybe other distros.

* improve performance and avoid head-of-line blocking on slow storage
* share "git cat-file --batch" processes across inboxes to avoid
* make "git cat-file --batch" detect unlinked packfiles so we don't
have to restart processes (very long-term)
+
+* support searching based on `git-patch-id --stable` to improve
+ bidirectional mapping of commits <=> emails
+
+* linter to check validity of config file
+
+* linter option and WWW endpoint to graph relationships and flows
+ between inboxes, addresses maildirs, coderepos, etc...
+
+* pygments support - via Python script similar to `git cat-file --batch'
+ to avoid startup penalty. pygments.rb (Ruby) can be inspiration, too.
+
+* highlighting + linkification for "git format-patch --interdiff" output
+
+* highlighting + linkification for "git format-patch --range-diff" output
+ (requires mirroring of git repos)
+
+* parse and allow (semi)automatic-mirroring of "git request-pull" output
+ for coderepos
+
+* configurable diff output for solver-generated blobs
+
+* figure out how search for messages with multiple Date: headers
+ should work (some wacky examples out there...)
+
+* support UUCP addresses for legacy archives
