Progress on stitching mailing list history back together

Hi Mark, Mario, others,

Today I finished a script to stitch the histories of the various mailing
lists back together (yay!). However, I'm running into an issue:

Mailman's HTML archive generator doesn't want to regenerate the archives
for any archive that doesn't have an active mailing list associated (why?!
Ugh!).

So, I'll be experimenting later to see if I can create an active mailing
list while regenerating the archive and deleting the mailing list
thereafter again. If anybody feels like major Python hacking to hack the
HTML archive generator to use the mailing list default settings if there's
no active mailing list, that'd be perfect. (We don't use anything but the
defaults...)


So, good news, but unfortunately, bad news too.


@Mark: some mail to armedbear-devel hasn't been archived between june 2014
and februari 2015. If you could find those mails (preferrably by
downloading them in their original text form, by downloading POP3 or IMAP
content), now would be an extremely good time, because it'll be easy to
stich that content with the rest right now.
