On LWN there are some more comments to these sad news. I understand
Lars' motivation to step down, and I hope someone will manage to pick up
after Lars. The reason is that gmane is mailing list archive I've found
which has a sane thread view (which also responded to keytboard events).
Jon Corbet says in a comment:
I've been talking a bit with Lars; money doesn't seem to be the
issue. He's really just ready to hand it off. I think we might have
found a good prospective home for gmane, but it will take a little
while to know for sure.
And I see that cloudflare has been put in front of gmane.org now (though
not yet working). So these might be some traces of that.
Anyhow, this scenario is why we put Message-ID in our commit logs. The
URL to gmane.org was primarily for convenience, the Message-ID field is
the mandatory field in our commit messages. So unless gmane.org
re-appears or something better comes up, we will just update our git
scripts to use a different convenience URL.
