Best monthly view on the pkg-gnome archive is actually this one:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-gnome-maintainers/2029-June/date.html

I agree with a monthly view being more appropriate for followers of  
the team's communication workflow. I switched to monthly view now for  
pkg-mate-team ML, but I am unsure if the already existing archive  
pages will be re-generated on a monthly basis now. Let's see. Please  
Shirish, check the list archives again in a month from now (or two)  
and report back about the results. Thank you.

I will also switch the pkg-mate-commits archive to a monthly view, but  
need to re-acquire a passwort from Alioth's FusionForge tool first.

I don't think that this works with the pipermail archiving software in  
mailman, but I may be mistaken.

Thanks Adrian for spotting the actual difference addressed by Shirish.
