Where to bulk-download mailing list archives?

[Jean-Philippe Ouellet]

Does anyone know of a convenient place to grab the complete archives
of this list? (and qubes-devel too?)

With the (lets hope indeed temporary) death of gmane and its nntp
interface, I lost the only easy way I knew of to bulk-download the
entire history of arbitrary mailing lists for offline grepping.

I'd rather not write yet another one-off web crawler if I don't need to...

I don't know how to download it from google, but I know how to download
it from my personal mailbox ;) This is what was uploaded to gmane.

https://ftp.qubes-os.org/~marmarek/qubes-users.tar.gz
https://ftp.qubes-os.org/~marmarek/qubes-devel.tar.gz

Archives are from May. I can upload newer, but better find some service
which would do that - some gmane alternative.

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

Gmane still appears mostly dead, with no indications of coming back soon.

Maybe MailMark? Not as nice as gmane was, but they have better search
and a friendlier interface than both google-groups and marc.info
(which currently archives qubes-users and qubes-devel).

They claim to accept requests for new lists:

Perhaps worthwhile?
