No, but one could avoid 404-ing pages under their control (e.g.
http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/archive.html, which seems to have
plenty of backlinks), change the <a href> text to "octave-help mailing
list" (instead of an e-mail address which is useless without
subscription) and move that link closer to the top of the support page
(OK, put the FAQ link first). This should help both bots and bodies (I
wouldn't have Google'd if the mailing list info was visible enough).
Actually, for a software (and presumably website) this venerable, I
thought one had to put in extra effort to screw up search engine
rankings.
