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.
