Isn't it only a very small part of the mail archives that change that
often?  I don't really know since I'm only responsible for building the
actual documentation part of the doc/ subdir.  That part should only be

BTW, in case somebody checks the doc/ directory now, the doc build is
broken at the moment so the files hasn't been updated the last couple of
weeks.
