Hi,

As long as you or someone will go thru the mbox file (about 164 MB or
34 MB when gzipped) and select emails that are To: or Cc:
linux-kbuild@vger.kernel.org, I'm OK with making it available.
The reason I say that is because it just might have some personal
emails in it that should not be added to a public archive.

Also, as I said earlier, once the correct emails are selected,
there are going to be duplicates of many of them, so dropping
those duplicates (or triplicates etc.) would be a Good Idea.

Has anyone thought about trying to get the kbuild archive from
marc.info/?l=linux-kbuild ?  or contacted the marc.info admin?
