They allow finding the messages referred to by historic gmane.org links. For example,

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/151297/focus=151435
refers to https://public-inbox.org/git/?q=gmane:151435, and
  $gmane/127980

refers to https://public-inbox.org/git/?q=gmane:127980. There are numerous examples of both kinds of references in the mailing list archive.

Thanks, Jonathan
