There is no one "archives page" for all of the mailing lists so this is
impossible.

And, the redundancy is there for a reason.  We have a rationale for the
redundancy.  Sometimes it is necessary to repeat things to help people
see things.  This is because sometimes saying things in a different way
helps get the point across.  If you present the information in multiple
ways it tends to catch people who see things differently.
