All of the mail archives are availble by rsync.  cf
        http://sources.redhat.com/ml/overseers/2001-q4/msg00141.html

The mbox ones are in the ftp site; the mhonarc ones are detailed
in that note.

"BTS" == Bug Tracking System.  I've never seen anyone but Milan
use that, so I'm guessing no one else on overseers will understand.  ;-)

Note to person doing the move - I probably did something reasonable
for the guile list when that moved to gnu.org; you might want to look
at what I did to the config.  (it was a year ago, I have no idea any
longer.)

Ah, and leave all the web archives of the mailing lists in place
on sourceware for the forseeable future.  The search engines will
have pointers into them, and people looking for gnats stuff should
get directed to a sane place.
