Not sure how Google works but what about this.  You have the subversion 
stuff on its own subdomain within orcaware.com, specfically 
svn.orcaware.com.  Your search page has search selections for 
www.orcware.com, svn.orcaware.com, and Everything.

Why not put the mailing list stuff under mailman.orcaware.com ?  Could 
Google then be modified to search under that subdomain specifically ?  Not 
sure how Google search works though.

This would seem to give some capability to search only the mailing lists as 
a whole at least - just not individual months but this is a start.
