It should be pretty easy to shut down write access to the GNATS CVS tree,
but leave rsync read access in place so that you can download the bits to
the GNU site.

The mbox archives should be easy to suck down.  The ones that will be more
interesting will be those which don't have an mbox format available for
download.  Those probably also pre-date our use of qmail, so I don't think
we can just suck them out of the qmail archive.  I'm not sure what the best
solution for those older archives will be.

That's easy for us to get to you.  Let us know when and we'll send you
the subscriber list and shut down new subscriptions.

That should be relatively easy.
