Opting in / out of topics is more lightweight than subscribing and
unsubscribing. And the web interface will present it all together with easy
ways to filter on the fly.

(I notice that hyperkitty lets me change categories for a post after the
fact; this is cool and I think desirable but I'm not sure how it interacts
if at all with mailman keywords.)

I'd love to hear better suggestions.... the main problem seems to be "it's
so busy no one goes there anymore". How can we keep the discussion cohesive
but prevent it from becoming overwhelming?
