Talking of such things, I noticed a couple weeks ago that the Gmane link 
at https://lists.01.org/mailman/listinfo/edk2-devel doesn't work .

 From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gmane :

"In July 2016, Ingebrigtsen announced that he was considering shutting 
Gmane down, and the web interface was taken offline.^[2] 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gmane#cite_note-2> ^[3] 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gmane#cite_note-3> In August 2016 Gmane 
was acquired by Yomura Holdings. Only the message spool was transferred, 
with the software behind the site having to be redeveloped.^[4] 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gmane#cite_note-4> ^[5] 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gmane#cite_note-5> On the 6 September 
2016, it was announced that the Gmane web interface would be coming 
online again.^[6] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gmane#cite_note-6> 
However, by February 2018 a LWN.net 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LWN.net> article observed that the web 
interface did "never [...] return, breaking thousands of links across 
the net. The front page still says 'some things are very broken' and 
links to a blog page that was last updated in September 2016."^[7]
