Would it be useful to have the old Ethereal downloads and mailing list
archives available on the Wireshark site?

Mailing list archives: definitely.  That way we're sure they continue to 
exist and the URL is stable.  (Didn't there use to be a copy on 
wireshark.org?)

Old downloads: (from my perspective) Sounds vaguely like a bad idea 
(stuff that old is bad/shouldn't be used; are you SURE ethereal.com's 
files haven't been infected with something?), but eh, whatever.

And you need the be GPL, so provide the source tarballs too.
