I've just checked the archives -- they are working well as far as I can see.

There was no post yet to the announcement list in May, so you saw that archive
empty (I've just processed James Gilbert's announcement, it may take an hour
to be visible in the archive.) 
In the meantime, James also posted it to vsns-bcd-perl: 
http://www.uni-bielefeld.de/mailinglists/BCD/vsns-bcd-perl/0005/0098.html

In general, I've talked to our majordomo maintainers, and they try their
best to improve the speed of redistribution (which is not too bad, given the
size of the lists, but it definitely should be better). Since a move of the 
lists to bio.perl.org is being planned for months already, without a timeframe
being set yet, we can't spend too much work on this, though.

P.S. Yeah, I know, the archives do have a Y2K-bug, 
``Last message date: Thu May 20 1971''  ...
