The content won't disappear, existing mailing lists are archived externally here gmane.org[1] and markmail.org[2] (I would suggest nabble as well, but I always find it hard to access mailing lists from their home page.) From MarkMail I see that Louis Saurez-Potts has sent 10,984 emails to the archived openoffice mailing lists.
