Interesting question! I'm sure it should be possible :-)

Heh, one alternative is to use a better mailer :-)
In mutt you go...
/ ~s HARMONY-XYZ
and if I want to go really fancy I'll usually do
!mairix bs:HARMONY-XYZ
c ~/mailsearch
to search cross-list and deeply into archives. Of course, apple users will
just go
apple+space HARMONY-XYZ
it'll take minutes instead of seconds but it kinda works too if you keep
your mail volume down and use Apple Mail.
In any case, it should be possible to create a webapp tool that does
this kind of thing, eg
1) get list of jira prefixes
2) get list of mbox files
3) correlate using (HARMONY|INFRASTRUCTURE|MAVEN|GERONIMO|...)-[0-9]+
3a) collapse threads, keep only first message id in a thread
4) get list of mailing list corresponding to jira prefixes
5) for each match, construct the mail-archives.apache.org URL
using that list
6) use the jira interface to figure out whether the message id
was already mentioned, if not, post a comment listing the
message id and the mail-archives URL
Neat little task. Lets find a volunteer :-). Maybe posting to infrastructure@
or site-dev@ will help...
