The archives use the standard mailman format. We don't plan on making
site-specific modifications to mailman since we want to employ to only
supported software, unlike the previous incarnation of
sourceware.org/gcc.gnu.org/cygwin.com.
This has been discussed many times since we switched to new hardware and
a newer OS release. In a perfect world we wouldn't have to keep
answering these types of questions. I guess we must need a FAQ.
We haven't implemented mailing list search yet and maybe not ever.
The easiest way I've found to search is to google:
site:sourceware.org <keywords to search for>
