I would guess that what Anatoly is saying is that he doesn't want to be fully 
committed to the Mailman project or something, and that he has to earn a 
living doing other stuff, but then don't we all?

(T-shirt suggestion: Pwned by Python?)

I've noticed that the archive numbering for the problematic python-list 
archives does start at 000000 and 000001 but then skips around to 619310 and 
627807:

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/1999-February/date.html

There's a good mixture of various ranges in subsequent months.

I've been looking at the Mailman code and the Mailman.Archiver code in 
particular, although I'm still not sure whether it makes sense to take the 
gzipped archives from mail.python.org and try and process them in some way.

Any suggestions?
