Hi Stephano,

Can you please confirm that the current mailing list archive URLs will
continue working?

Yes, I'll check on this today.

Personally, when I provide archive links (in discussions, BZs, commit
messages etc), I tend to make sure that I include two links: one into
the master archive, and another (to the same message) into the
mail-archive.com archive. From these, I make sure that the 2nd one is
always a Message-ID-based URL. The benefit is that, even if
mail-archive.com disappears, people can construct new URLs to old
messages, from the old message-IDs that are captured in the old URLs --
assuming a new archive service exposes the old messages by message-ID again.

This is a good point and shows the level of detail that is preserved by the mailing list if maintained properly. I would assume this is part of the reason that the Linux kernel has continued to use mailing lists for patch review as this level of detail is highly desired in their case.

In brief, please preseve the archive at
<https://lists.01.org/pipermail/edk2-devel/>, albeit with locked down
content, indefinitely.

Will do.

Cheers,
Stephano
