Actually this would be a fantastic thing for a random community member to do
- you just need to enter the request on gmane's site and then provide them
with a nicer version of the archives from
http://lists.bestpractical.com/pipermail/prophet/ - I've done this many
times for various lists I wanted to access via gmane. Note that adding
archives can take a while as gmane admins are usually pretty overworked.
