Only in the sense that I can then find out which list a relevant
conversation is on.

But then if I want to see a threaded view of the conversation, I need
to fall back to gmane or similar.

In general I find the working with opensuse archives very 10+ years ago.

Compare that to this search for GregKH's post to the lkml collection:

http://markmail.org/search/?q=gregkh

You see a list of which lists he's most active in.  You see a
breakdown by year of how active he was.

If you click on one of his messages you get a new view that helps you
track down what your looking for:

http://markmail.org/search/?q=gregkh#query:gregkh+page:1+mid:gyrtxc2i6u43ya4d+state:results

I have no idea if markmail would add the full opensuse mailing list
collection, but if they would it seems like a big step forward.

Even better would be if they had a way to filter a search to just the
opensuse collection.
