Generate RSS/Atom feeds for archives

It would be fairly useful for to me if jekyll-archives could generate a RSS/Atom feed along with each archive for a tag or category (or a date for that matter). This makes it a bit easier for folks interested in one particular topic you write about. Perhaps there's an opportunity to integrate with jekyll-feed in some way?

Forgive me if there's some obvious way to do this already and I've missed it.

If jekyll-archives piggy-backed on jekyll-feed, this could be fairly easy. Would require some movement in both.

I'll add this to my rather lengthy TODO list. Do you have any guidelines for what you'd like to see, or should I just start coding?

Yes. This.

It seems like this might require more restructuring in jekyll-feed than jekyll-archives. Ideally, it seems like a plugin should be able to provide jekyll-feed with a list of posts and have a feed generated for those posts.

It seems that we should be careful to make sure that they integrate at a high enough level that each plugin can continue to grow and evolve without risking breaking anything.

:+1: The jekyll-feed plugin should be smart enough to be able to generate a feed based on an arbitrary list.

This is now supported on jekyll-feed, but there's a mismatch. Using:

jekyll-archives:
  enabled:
    - tags
  permalinks:
    tag: "/tag/:name.html"

Will lowercase the tag name, while jekyll-feed keeps it as-is.
