Dear Jimmy Wales,
Could you ask those in charge to make the wikimedia.org mailing lists searchable again?
There may be good reasons why they aren't,
but of course one cannot find them,
because they are not searchable!
Thanks.
The reason were people posting private data to the mailing list, then annoying sysadmins to remove then when finding about them on Google.
I think he already knows the reasons why, and the archive sites where search is available, he found out that information last time he posted to this list on this subject:

Jidanni, for what it's worth you brought up this question back in May and were told the exact same things as in this thread. Did you forget the previous discussion? Or did you think by CC'ing Jimmy you'd get a different answer this time around?
