Two relevant articles are the following:
 [1]: https://lwn.net/Articles/695695/
 [2]: https://lwn.net/Articles/699704/

In short: Gmane creator and maintainer wanted to retire from being maintainer[1] because of DDoS attack against its web interface, so he stopped supporting wen interface (NNTP continues working). Thus public-inbox.org was created (or just advertised more). Later Gmane got new maintainer[2], but without code for web interface (I don't know why it is).

So there is hope that Gmane web interface would be up some time in the future; in meantime one can use public-inbox URLs.

HTH,
