You could try https://inbox.sourceware.org/cygwin/ -- I assume that's at
least semi-official, given it's hosted by sourceware.org, and it has a
search function and archives that seem to go back at least as far as
1997.

That'll also let you access the archives in a variety of other ways
(IMAP, Git, ...) so you can set up your own search tools, should you be
so minded.  (Use OfflineIMAP to clone the archives to a spare Gmail
account, then use Gmail's search tools, perhaps?)

Otherwise, you can browse the archive at
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/.  I'm not sure how you got to the
python.org site, but I don't think that'll ever get you very far!
