If you can get a set of mbox files of the archives, we can set up a
mirror of the list on http://lists.ocaml.org with the complete
historical archives.

This is a Mailman-driven site, and so the templates can easily be
customised to improve the SEO indexing (which is pretty good by default).

I don't quite have the bandwidth to figure out the runes required to
get the mbox files, but injecting them into Mailman and keeping them
mirrored is fairly straightforward.
