Robert, thank you for doing this.

A question: are we allowed to mirror the UT webpages which have the
history of the mailing list on it? If so, will SF do that for us?
Ideally, we could move those pages over to SF. My guess is that now
that we have moved the mailing list, those pages will eventually
disappear and it would be a pity if they were lost.
