Giving this list a higher priority is a reasonable feature request.
I'm also concerned by the enormous amount of spam it receives, but
do't think there is anything I can do about that. I'll accept a patch.

Also reasonable, except that I'd expect we'd have multiple archives of
a single list. And potentially people would send (accidentally)
multiple lists to a single archive address. If there is room for a
problem, odds are (so far for me at least) it will happen.

However, I have yet to come across many lists that people care about
that can't be archived via the existing process. The most common
unarchivable lists seem to be spam or one-to-many announcement lists
with hidden or forged headers -- fuck 'em.

PS. I CC:'d gossip, since that's the appropriate forum for these
questions.
