Niels -
The suggestion to contact ietf-action@ when you spot a discrepancy is
correct. You shouldn't find many, and the ones you find will likely deal
with edge cases encountered when importing a list from somewhere else
(or, as we have done in the past, having a local subscription to an
externally hosted list).
There are more than 2 stores that could be come discrepant. We have been
working for some time to get to a point where we have a single source of
truth that any other views are derived from so that we don't encounter
this going forward.

be attributed to a mailinglist migration, but it begs the question which
archive is authoritative, and why are there two different archives?
The MHonarc archives used to be the archives of the IETF mailing
lists. In 2012, there were a new set of requirements for archiving
IETF mailing lists. mailarchive.ietf.org was implemented a few years
back. I vaguely recall that the IAOC discussed about whether to keep
MHonarc running. As there hasn't been any decision to turn off
MHonarc, there are two mailing list archives.
Some people still greatly prefer MHonarc. I've been trying to train
myself to use the new format...
The question of which
archive is authoritative has not been raised up till now.
They should be identical, in theory, I think.
Problem is that they are not - so I think we should run an sync on the archives and seek out where they are out of sync. Who should I reach out to for this? Happy to help find anomalies.
Best,
Niels
And of course some
older lists have been lost, I believe,from the time before all
lists were hosted at ietf.org.
