What is your plan to clean up the mess you made?
Rewrite the sucky archiver in Mailman?
One thing I would like to see is Google indexing of the WMF archive
enabled again. All the third-party archives not under our control are
in the search engines, there's not actually any sane reason not to
have the official archive indexed - unless it's just to reduce the
noise of complaints from people who erroneously think it's possible to
remove their own words from the Internet. (We used to substitute it
with ht://dig, which was so incredibly awful that nothing at all was a
reasonable alternative.)
