I looked into this, and we are not currently including mailing list archives in the service we pay archive-it for.

I'm also not totally sure adding it would really help, because of the "museum quality" notion -- we do have an archive, already, and putting up two archives on best-efforts basis doesn't really meet that criterion.

The Internet Society, of course, is committed to the continued support of the list and its archives, and I don't anticipate any diminution in that commitment.  But clearly, if there were a mechanism for long-term archival storage of valuable online resources, I think we would be interested in feeding it.

Hope that helps,
