> Am I misunderstanding this, or is this the source code to Apple System 7.1?

More or less, yes. It only encompasses the system (i.e. not applications like the Finder) and isn't entirely complete, but it's still a great window into the world of Apple pre-OS X.

> There seems to have been a mailing list about this codebase from 02018 to 02021: https://lists.ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au/pipermail/cdg5/

This mailing list was for a set of projects which focused on taking this code dump (among other things) and making it compile, ideally to reproduce released binaries.
