Money is not an issue. Even the devs would be happy to contribute enough for more powerful servers. Time spent managing said systems (and yes, large scale systems like this require maintenance) is often hard to come by. There are two distinct problems here, running the mailing list and having a nice archive available. The two need not be solved in the same place. I don't know of any reason to not continue hosting the list with Google, if someone has one please share it. As for having a searchable archive with the rest of the Trac documentation, I don't think anyone would object to that. Unfortunately I know of no such plugin, so someone would need to write it first.
