This was from memory, because I recalled seeing such messages, but
anyone please correct me if I'm confusing mailing lists...

(Two things come to mind: is there any webfora platform that includes a
"pastebin" facility for this? (If attachment support isn't sufficient, I
think some do have that.)

And: if there is a lack of this, has it ever been pondered as a thing to
offer on Gentoo infra? Perhaps with archival and extended lifetime if it
indeed is linked in some Gentoo mailing list message, Gentoo forum post,
&c.. (Thankfully, at least in bugzilla this is not an issue :-) )

P.S.: I noticed the webfora software changed at least in appearance, and
it wants a password change, I should go see that now...)
