Note that Tom's two 2003 archives have completely different urls in Andrew's
list! I suspect that this may be a common event -- to use the change to a
new archive to also move to a new host.

... which gets back right where things started, with address@hidden
My feeling is that people _will_ move their archives around over time -- but
will often want to keep their same email address (email addresses are often
much easier to maintain because they require almost no resources) -- and that
we shouldn't penalize this case.
Having some sort of meta-archive seems interesting, however it should handle
moving archives gracefully.
