The archive is disabled. The list should contain just the patches that are
already stored at the tree. Archiving the emails will just spend some space for
a duplicated info. So, I think Johannes disabled it to save some space.

I think it is a good idea that the pull requests would be also c/c to V4L
and/or DVB ML.
