pipermail2rss

I wanted to be able to read a mailing list as a feed, so I wrote this tool yesterday. It converts Pipermail or Hypermail mailing list archives (at least the one example of each I've tried) to RSS 2.0.

(I'd have used Atom except that <updated> is required, and that information is not easily available in bulk in a Mailman Pipermail archive.)

It uses xsltproc and TagSoup.
