That's just the way Mailman does it. archives/private/ contains two
directories per list. The archives/private/<listname>/ directory
contains the full pipermail archive (various files and directories) and
The archives/private/<listname>.mbox/ directory contains the cumulative
archive mbox file also named <listname>.mbox.
