For reference, the rationale given for the removal of the old news pages
is stated in a comment to the corresponding commit, cf.
<https://salsa.debian.org/webmaster-team/webwml/-/commit/e92471ba4917f0ec62d22e04229928e5531698f4#note_556263>:
| The old issues of DWN are still available in their original location on
| the Debian mailing lists. www.debian.org/News contains two links to the
| mailing list archive. But on the web page, we want to show only the
| relevant news to our users, which are the recent ones from the last
| years, but not the very old ones.

HTH,
Flo - who also thinks that removing the old content is wrong but also
thinks that it is up to debian-www to make a call on that, and who now
just wanted to clarify the references from commit to thread and vice versa
