I got it down to 5 seconds per list, and no mouse movement at all...
but then it turns out that Sourceforge will then do the old-fashioned
picture-based captcha thing.  "Is that a car?  or a bus?" which slows
things waaaay down.

So...

There's 2500 Sourceforge lists on Gmane, but this may be too much work.
Hm...  I could split it into lists for people to process?  And then
... crowd-source it?

It's be a list of a couple of hundreds of lines with these pairs:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/cluecc/lists/cluecc-users [email protected]

The latter has to be pasted into the former, and then click off on the
two "yes" things, and then hit "enter".

Anybody want to do this?  :-)  It's pretty mindless and boring and
there's the captcha.
