if finding said operators for a dedicated service is hard then finding
a quorum to run mixmasterminions as intake to hidden list likely just
as peril fraught.

note that a local only (hidden only) mailer would be easy enough to
extend to link to incoming mix messages, if/when desired, in addition
to Usenet intake, as also mentioned.

a persistent and available store of disclosures (late comers seeking
archives) is a critical requirement.  your threat model is the nation
state intelligence community tailored operations teams. [see also:
