Long story short: the sole maintainer of gmane is getting fed up with ddos attacks and is thinking about terminating the service.
That’s sad :-( It really was a great service. I can’t blame the maintainer, of course.
Maybe the approaching end of gmane would be a good motivation to really do this work?
Alternatively, Mailman, the mailing list software used by this list, can be set up to use htdig for searching the archive; that’s what most lists on tug.org use (see the top of http://tug.org/pipermail/xetex/ for example). Best, Arthur
