/me can't read dates - the list was created in May *2014*, so the
first 17 months of traffic are missing.

I do have a local archive of almost all the traffic (except for a
few patches I fat fingered (copy, don't save to a separate mbox
file) when pulling them off the list), so itmiht be worth seeing if
if we can get it backfilled.....
