I think that the changes compared to the current table structure should be minimized, to avoid rewrite all tools that use this data. Improvements are welcomed of course, but please don't make changes if there's no good reason for them. Did you confirm with DSA that parsing the online list archives is the preferred way to go? I fear that we will hit some HTTP rate limiting at some point and will have to reconsider the implementation. How optimized is your code for running every few minutes? Ideally we would like near-real-time updates of this data, we will require polling the list archives (previously, email was received directly on ullmann.debian.org via a special email address) Lucas
