Mark - I think that's a great idea. I'd go even further, and suggest that the valuable information discussed on the mailing list be managed in a searchable form, as is the case with Google or Yahoo Groups. (Is it searchable now? I couldn't see how to search the entire archive for a keyword.)
This would be helpful for we users of riak, and even possibly for riak developers, since finding more information might prevent people from asking a question that has already been asked in the past, saving them time. In this case, you might want to copy the Recap to a message on the mailing list, so it's searchable there as well.
