There are several technical mailing list archive sites.  I Googled a 
recent python-list post of mine and found it in the top 15 hits at

http://readlist.com/lists/python.org/python-list/67/337183.html
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/python/python/1211878
https://code.activestate.com/lists/python-list/689764/
https://www.mail-archive.com/python-list@python.org/msg399397.html

These all look to be read-only as far as the site goes, and honestly 
identified as copies, so they only serve to broadcast our message and 
possibly direct people to the original source.

Three include at the bottom of each posted message
https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
and the fourth a sidebar link to python-list info.

I believe that there are also 'country' sites that either post English 
originals or local translations.
