I have taken the time to hand pick the mailing lists from the 
http://lists.luaforge.net/mailman/listinfo page.

I also wrote a small script to parse them and identify what is 
going on in terms of sizes. It is available along with the downloaded 
mailing list archives from: 
   http://www.filedropper.com/lfml-05012011

I gave up when I couldn't sort the `ml` tables by `ml_month`
Next I would remove the txt suffix, gather statistics for 
participants, etc.

Anyhow I think we may come to some conclusions when we watch the following 
sample output for todays data:
