Provide a pre-compiled tarball for all static contents

[maxking]

This is basically just a thought.

If I can provide a tarball of all the static content, it is possible to make mailman-web container entirely state-less with no-need to mount anything as static files are the only thing thing that need to be shared with web server. Static files could be compiled per-release and stored along with releases on Github?

It is also possible to configure uwsgi to serve static files and if the performance is good enough, we can let go of mounting directory method.

What's the point of prepackaging the static files? Generating them is fast enough. With mounts update is seamless.

I prefer delegating static files to my front nginx, but anyway it's just a matter of preference.

Yeah, I often find people questioning about missing static files.

uwsgi has an option to serve static files, maybe they can be configured properly using environment variables. This issue is just meant to explore options :)
