Mailing lists predate m68k by a few decades, I'm sure. Anyway, we did
not use the Debian lists infrastructure in the beginning.

Yes, that was the list coordinating the autobuilders - James ran that
one (and AFAIR he wrote a great deal of buildd and wanna-build and the
infrastructure feeding into the build database). Haven't heard from
James in a long time though.
Having access to the m68k-build archive would be nice but that's
probably long lost.

I remember there were some heated discussions about the list name, and
it was decided to stick with debian-68k. We had too much time on our
hands back then, clearly. Happy days...
I don't see why a list alias can't be used to collect mail coming in on
the old list name (or the new, more logical one if that's easier on the
sites archiving the list).
