I am reading debian-devel there occasionally and I can assure you this is
NOT a viable alternative.

1. The software cannot handle multipart/signed messsages :-(
2. The threaded display does not contain dates.
3. On busy lists the web pages become quite big.
4. The archive is constructed only once a day on master and then it
   takes a while to propagate to the mirrors.

etc ...
