Oh right, it does. It goes back to April 2004.
http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.linux.arch.general/month=20040401
Is that when Archlinux started having a ML ?
TBH i dont like the Gmane interface at all for reading mailing lists.
Its confusing.
Akthough i havent tried reading it with an NNTP client.
Mailman is much tolerable & im much more used to it.
NetBSD's archive which is far better than Gmane's goes back to March 2006
