I think the tracker might end up being one of the higher bandwidth costs of
running an archive, depending on how it's implemented. There might also be legal
implications, which I have no interest in getting into now.

The application has been submitted, and can now be commented on publicly
(perhaps to affirm your intention to mentor :) ). I'm not sure if this link will
work for you, but I can access it here:

Thanks for all your time, as I know you're busy, and I look forward to the
possibility of working with you on this.
