mailman3 / hyperkitty planning

It doesn't look like I can access it, I probably need to go through
lockbox, which I haven't needed to do before, so I probably don't have
the rights, and I don't know the procedure. Could you point me to a SOP
describing what lockbox is used for, what I can do with it, etc?
I didn't find it in the SOPs wiki page.
Also, how can I get to the private ansible repo and the host inventory?
I'll make the configuration for this server in ansible.

I need to rebuild the HK rpms and change the MM3 RPM to make it not
replace the current mailman RPM we have.

Yes please! If you don't want to do the copying please just point me to
their current location.

There is a way to redirect the old URL scheme to the new one but it's
far from perfect (it uses the email import order which can be very
flawed with duplicate emails). I'd rather keep the old ones.

I admit it's still rather unclear to me. I am storing a full copy of
each message in the DB, but I'm not sure it's even mandatory (it's used
very rarely) and if it's a problem I could add a config switch to prefer
a filesystem-based storage (maildir).

I don't see what problems caching could pose.

Happy to see this moving forward! Cheers!
