Why not just archive your own list feeds and run agrep on them?
I don't find it hard to keep up with the lists, but I only skim them,
and I do so on a fast machine, so I can ususally plow through several
dozen messages in a few minutes.... I also have my mailer configured to
save messages from each list into an appropriate folder for future
searching.
BTW, IMHO anyone running sup should also subscribe to source-changes.
Personally once I have the time/space/banwidth again to restart more
active work on the -current stuff, I'm going to restrict myself to
grabbing the periodic tar's and checking them into a local CVS
repository. That way I can grab individual files with fixes when
necessary, but otherwise do my work only on the more stable hunks of the
-current stuff.
