This is a good question.  A quick look shows they have
(https://web.archive.org/web/20211107012538/https://lists.pidgin.im/pipermail/devel/
for example), but it might be somewhat out of date.  I think Gary's
main concern was preserving the links as much as possible, because who
knows how many links there are to lists.pidgin.im or
lists.imfreedom.org or whatever.  It's trivial to amass hundreds or
thousands of links that might have some historical value but are
easily broken because of a migration like this.
