Pondering about this a little more, it is probably enough to use a
download tool that allows continuation of downloads.  With the mbox
format mails are simply added to the end of file.  Correct?  So a new
version of an archive can just be downloaded by continuing from a
previous downloaded archive.  With wget something like this, I guess
(untested):

  wget --continue --recursive --level 1 --no-parent \
       --accept-regex '/[0-9]\{4\}-[0-9]\{2\}$' \
       'https://lists.gnu.org/archive/mbox/emacs-devel/'

So, never mind my rsync question if this actually works.
