Hi, all:

I used Eric's public-inbox.org archives to set up our own copy on
lore.kernel.org and identical list archives are now available on that
server.

Almost :)  I forget it exists, but there's the "gmane:$ARTICLE_NUM"
altid mapping search support on my server for legacy gmane URLs.

Instructions to set it up:

I spoke with Eric and he recommends that official project documentation
starts using lore.kernel.org/git URLs in daily use and git's official
documentation in order to allow him more freedom of decision when it
comes to hosting his equipment. The URLs at both domains remain the
same, e.g.:

Yup,  .org TLD renewal costs will likely go up and I won't pay
higher costs to keep .org domains.

The system running public-inbox.org (and the recommended
onions(*)) will stay running and will have bleeding edge
code on it.

I think it would make sense for the Git SFC arm of things[1] to consider
taking over the public-inbox.org domain rather than letting it expire
(of course contingent on your approval) and turning it into a CNAME (or
other redirect) for lore.kernel.org.

We have a lot of mailing list and some (~130 commits) git.git commit
references to that domain. It seems like a worthwhile expense to me to
pay for the renewal of it rather than having it turn into e.g. some spam
landing page as the registration expires.

1. Disclaimer: I'm one of the people who'd vote on making that decision
   if it came to that, but this E-Mail is, as they say, just like, my
   opinion, man :)
