Try:

  https://public-inbox.org/git/?q=gmane:201591

Public-inbox uses message-ids as its primary key, but keeps a static mapping of gmane articles to message-ids. But the corpus of gmane ids isn't growing anymore, and public-inbox URLs can be trivially converted to other systems which index on the message id[1].

    local requests that I view in mutt.
