Is there any specific reason why the mailing list archives are explicitly marked as 'noindex'? That makes it next to impossible to find an old message by keywords; otherwise Google would be pretty useful.

Allow me to quote you from your post of November 6, 2006 about this very topic:
Don't take this the wrong way, but I hope you'll /still/ receive complaints that things people posted are visible publicly, even if it's not googlable. Then hopefully you'll reinstate Google's indexing.
