Description

A sitemap of all the threads would help crawlers and improve search engine discovery. You can point crawlers to the sitemap using the Sitemap: <full-url> directive in a robots.txt file, or by sending them a ping. A sitemap can have a maximum of 50,000 URLs. Beyond that, you need to generate a sitemap index file that points to the different sitemaps.

Not sure if this is a rib issue or a zulip-archive issue, but you could leverage this package I published recently to build the sitemaps and sitemap index: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/sitemap-gen

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how the static site is generated and add sitemap generation using the sitemap gen Haskell package or by manually generating XML files. Then reference the sitemap in robots.txt or submit via ping.
