Unfortunately nobody stepped up to do that.
Someone (in Matrix chat!) mentioned he would look at it but never
announced any start of work on the SAC mailing list, nor in the SAC
chat room. Any proposal remains theoretical until someone takes on
the effort of making it real.

The corresponding trac ticket is here:

Personally I'd be very happy to see this upgrade coming, but last I
checked migration of archives was reported to not be "smooth"
(existing mails would not have the same URLs when migrating) so more
decisions are to be made (or someone needs to be bold enough to just
do it and see what happens, which is what was done with Discourse)
