In most cases, pipermail/mailman is configured to save unmodified copy (with all attachments and headers) of every incoming email to some mbox archive stored on server, which is available to server admins. This mbox archive is not available for download via web interface, so it is not public and some SSH access to server is required for obtaining it. Admins of lists.ath9k.org could have access to full ath9k-devel mbox archive which is suitable for importing into any indexing service, like lore. Public pipermail archive has downloadable GZIP version of all emails, but it is stripped of all attachments and have mangled all strings in headers and body which may look like an email address. So this public pipermail archive is not very usable. In past I did some research work on topic how to archive, parse and index emails from mailing lists and I have scripts which could de-mangle pipermail public archives and generate from it valid mbox archive.
