You could try https://inbox.sourceware.org/cygwin/ -- I assume that's at least semi-official, given it's hosted by sourceware.org, and it has a search function and archives that seem to go back at least as far as 1997. That'll also let you access the archives in a variety of other ways (IMAP, Git, ...) so you can set up your own search tools, should you be so minded. (Use OfflineIMAP to clone the archives to a spare Gmail account, then use Gmail's search tools, perhaps?) Otherwise, you can browse the archive at https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/. I'm not sure how you got to the python.org site, but I don't think that'll ever get you very far!
