There is no way to search for threads as far as I know. That means it is very hard to find anything specific. That is why I actually came up with this change in the first place: Getting rid of references to the "old' mailing lists which are just not helpful for beginners.

You do not need to worry about this. Your change is updating the locations people are to ask for help. That has changed to Discourse and this is the proper change. This is separate from the archive situation which we are actively working on and I have full confidence will be sorted out. In addition, most people are not looking for archives here, they will do a google search or search the archives (which is effectively a google search since we have limited search on our website).

Do not worry about this as you have kept all the references to commits list.
