[digiKam-users] why do I rejoin Digikam MailMan list?

[Ty Mayn]

 After study of the public viewable archives I see that discussion is more
immediate on this oldfashioned Mailman listservice. Its clear to me that it
is small but has some responsive leaders with knowledge.
    Meanwhile the similarly named digikam Forum hosted by kde is small and
more inactive. After posting there this January I resorted to answering my
own posting just to be partially useful
https://forum.kde.org/viewforum.php?f=256
     The energy on this list service deserves better tools.
https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/digikam-users/
The archive has at least 17 years of useful knowledge zipped into 204
separate months that no newcomer (or even old user)will easily search.
    Has anyone ever prepared and circulated a consolidated archive ready
for global search?
 Every posting member has their  participating email exposed to weak
masking that only replaces @ with "at"  while the  forum tools at KDE have
good authentication and member shelter.
    Am I the only one to have spoken on this issue? I would have to search
the archives to know but I suppose each current member has a view and every
pattern has inertia.  Please accept this as a positive input on a good thing
