No it does not. Javien is working on it, hopefully they will get done with
it in a few more months. From my understanding it will be a hybrid system
with this mailing list continuing as normal, but also crossposted to their

on the web, and in normal emails using simple clickable URLs. I don't
know all the details yet.
