You said we need archived http urls of libre-riscv-dev lists to save google
search engine hits we have already. What about it?

Hey, but pipermail archives are nice to browse.

In that case we should set mailman settings:
DEFAULT_ARCHIVE_PRIVATE = 1
# So no public viewable archive dir is made
ARCHIVE_TO_MBOX = 1
# do not use builtin mailman html archiving, archive to mbox only

Mbox archives are backable, while maildir is difficult to backup and
restore.

The public-inbox Xapian search is good.

And raw power of linux command line search tools with plains files available
in git will be great.
