I actually do, too. I keep a local archive of the whole list, and I have a script that hits gmane to convert their article ids into message-ids. When gmane is down I can still use my archive, but I can't resolve anybody's article mentions. :)

I mostly use gmane links because people are used to them, though (I also don't think there's a way using message-ids to point to a whole thread with an article highlighted, though of course readers can get their by clicking through).

It seems to have a giant hole in git@vger messages between 2016-01-07 and 2016-01-20, which covers the referenced message (which was on the 14th).
