Hi Peter...
Since I am a Google Search admin for www.openoffice.org, and
openoffice.apache.org, I got this also. Disclaimer: I have not done ANY
work with the Google Search apis on these sites in quite some time.
I actually was NOT aware forum.openoffice.org was set up to use Google
Search until I saw this.
One of the Google Search admins for forum.openoffice.org could check the
current Google search apis that are in use on that site. Changes are
occasionally made to the calls, and maybe that is the issue, or a
robots.txt for that site is causing this. I don't think it requires a
response, but maybe some investigation.
Just some ideas...
Regards,
Kay

Hi all,
I have received following mail. Probably because I am listed in the
google-Analytics page.
Does this has some action items? What can we answer Mr John Mueller?
All the Best

Betreff: Critical issue on forum.openoffice.org and Google Search

Dear webmaster of forum.openoffice.org <http://forum.openoffice.org>
I'm an analyst at Google in Switzerland. We wanted to bring your
attention to a critical issue with your website, and how it's
available for Google's web search.
In particular, Googlebot has been unable to crawl URLs from
https://forum.openoffice.org/ . This will cause those pages to drop
out of Google's search results, and will prevent new pages from being
picked up for Search. If you're not aware of this issue, you may be
accidentally blocking these pages from Google Search due to a server
issue. If you need to block Googlebot from crawling pages on your
website, we'd recommend using the robots.txt file instead.
Should you need to recognize IP addresses of Googlebot requests, you
can use a reverse IP lookup to do so:

Should you have any questions, feel free to contact me directly. For
verification purposes, we are sending a copy of this message to your
site's Search Console account.
Thank you,
John Mueller (joh...@google.com <mailto:joh...@google.com>)
