Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. Unfortunately, there's no way to do what you suggest. A better solution would be if you guys wrote a Wiki page [1] where you can gather all the knowledge along with pointers to mailing list archives and such. You could simply add a new page under the HowTos. In time we can integrate this information into the main website.
