I wouldn't get too attached to the domain, "public-inbox.org" is too long for my tastes anyways. "peff.net/git/$MESSAGE_ID" would actually be more user-friendly :>

A generic Message-ID redirection/finding service would be good, (maybe some DHT thing, but... has that taken off for git blobs, yet?)

Anyways I hope to teach public-inbox to auto-linkify Message-ID-looking strings "<XXXXXXXXXXX@XXXXXXXX>" into URLs for domain-portability, (but it's ambiguous with email addresses). But yeah, I don't like things being tied to domain names.

I've also been considering setting up a parallel instance on 80x24.org to use the more-scalable "v2" repository format developed for https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/

Speaking of lore, Konstantin confirmed he'll be getting more vger lists up: https://public-inbox.org/meta/20180827205811.GA1611@chatter
