> A good long term objective for the PMC is to drop RabbitMQ in
> favor of pulsar (third parties could package their own components using
> RabbitMQ if they wishes...)
> This means:
>  - Solve the bugs that were found during the Pulsar MailQueue review
>  - Pulsar MailQueue need to allow listing blobs in order to be
> deduplication friendly.
>  - Provide an event bus based on Pulsar
>  - Provide a task manager based on Pulsar
>  - Package a distributed server backed by pulsar, deprecate then replace
> the current one.
>  - (optionally) support mail queue priorities
> While contributions would of course be welcomed on this topic, we could
> offer it as part of GSOC 2022, and we could co-mentor it with mentors of
> the Pulsar community (see [3])
> [3] https://lists.apache.org/thread/y9s7f6hmh51ky30l20yx0dlz458gw259
> Would such a plan gain traction around here ?
