The gmane web interface is gone, and I'm unaware of anyone who has
picked up the archive and exposed it under the same URLs (via domain
name transfer etc). So, at the moment (to my knowledge) all our
historical gmane links are broken. Neither do I know how someone could
access edk2-devel messages that predate Mike's enablement of the
built-in <https://lists.01.org/pipermail/edk2-devel/> archive.

Sorry :(
