Now 2 years old I see. Good start.

I'm guessing that's over and above what I found at:

I think the existing archives are static HTML. I have some archives dating
back to 1999: https://www.unixathome.org/adsl/
There might be some server-side rewrites or aliases to ensure that this
URL always works, before and after mailman3:
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2020-April/118352.html
<https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2020-April/118352.html>
Let's compare 2 and 3 lists:
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/
<https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/>
https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-us...@mailman3.org/
<https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-us...@mailman3.org/>
They are distinct (ignoring the hostname differences) so keeping the
old alongside the new should be safe.

Yes, we can't lose those. I have my own archives to support.
