Looks like this is HyperKitty? Any examples of this in use?

The web page has a link to some dated mock-ups (2012):

https://wiki.list.org/HyperKitty

It looks like some random web BBS forum.

(Please tell me the actual thing does not have up/down "like" votes; that's completely stupid in a mail archive (not to mention misleading), and preventing abuse of it would require visitors to be authenticated, which is also a complete stupid thing in a mail archive.)

Fedora usses mailman 3 and hyperkitty at https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/

It is infidelity inspired by the layout of a forum, but looks great IMO.

Wow, that's pretty awful. And they did implement the moronic voting buttons, too (facepalm).

Lurker wipes the floor with Hyperkitty.

(And is fast: C++ that generates static pages!)

I saw something about this yesterday and the stated rationale for votes was that mailman is supposed to bridge between mailing lists and forums (where votes are useful.)
