Please, don't waste our time and yours; the bug will just be closed
wontfix. The issues with the stock archiver Pipermail are well-known,
there are plenty of good alternatives if you can't live with them now
(it's easy to hook up MHonArc, mail-archive.com, or gmane), and
Pipermail is end-of-life[1] (as is all of Mailman 2). Only security
and easy-fix issues go into Mailman 2 nowadays. Threading in
Pipermail is neither.
Mailman 3 will have a completely different stock archive manager (in
fact, a separate project currently called HyperKitty). We haven't yet
decided if it will be bundled, but I think probably it will be.
