Hmm, unfortunately I don't think hosted is the right solution for those
people.  We even offer direct rsync access to all of the projects, I had
assumed we'd be doing the same for mail archives.  We don't allow any
private data in hosted currently, not sure that we should for the mailing
lists either.
