I think the Internet Archive intends to pick up the DB + WebUI:

https://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/2016/07/28/the-end-of-gmane/comment-page-1/#comment-13501

Also, from Lars Ingebrigtsen (speaking to a yet to be determined entity):

"I hand over the gmane.org domain to you [...] All previous
permalink.gmane.org (etc.) links continue to work as before, but they’ll
look new and spiffy in your new and spiffy web interface."

https://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/2016/07/28/the-end-of-gmane/comment-page-1/#comment-13502

(Actually, I'm a huge fan of the current (oldie but goldie) WebUI, so
"new and spiffy" is a minus for me, but at least the links should
continue to work.)

Going forward I'll have to constrain myself to the builtin mailman2
links at <https://lists.01.org/pipermail/edk2-devel/>. (Thanks again
Bruce and Mike for enabling those.)

Thanks
