While reading old issues I encountered a link to the old Chapel mailing lists hosted on SourceForge (pre-Discourse), at https://sourceforge.net/p/chapel/mailman/.

I think it would be good to download some kind of archive of these lists in case SourceForge decides to make them inaccessible in the future. According to https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/Mailing%20List%20Archives/ it should be possible for the administrator to download the archive as an mbox file -- so this is probably a task for @bradcray .

Since (AFAIK) all the contents of the archives are already available publicly, I suggest putting them in a git repo under the chapel-lang organization. No particular reason to use git other than that it's how we store all our other public artifacts.

I've grabbed these files and have polled the team to make sure nobody objects to the proposal (not that I'm expecting that, just don't want to act without some consensus).
