Ah, I found man pages for lurker command-line tools under

http://www.penguin-soft.com/penguin/man/1/l/

I was specifically looking for
http://www.penguin-soft.com/penguin/man/1/lurker-search.html

The documentation isn't very extensive, but good enough to get
started, I guess.

Search by message-id works, once you know to drop the angle brackets
and use the "id:" prefix:

http://people.debian.org/~terpstra/search/20380101.000000.00000000@id:20070406151654.gh22861@philipp-benner.de.en.html

This should allow us to convert links to old mailing list URLs for
which we have message-ids, which is not the case for all, though.
