Building the archives (even if not the list) with dated or sender addresses TMDA-style starts seeming quite attractive.

Actually, we're putting everything behind a CGI that'll enforce our policies. That way, if the policies change, only the CGI has to be modified, not the archives. And we don't have to modify the archives -- which is problematic if you take stuff out that later you decide ought to be there. An unmodified archive is a lot easier to deal with.
