The bigger problem is that every link to NEWS and (git) ChangeLog in
our release announcement(s) are now broken...

I also would have not put those links in there if there was a paywall.
I think that would convey a bad image.

So we have two issues: Deal with the old broken links properly and
decide what to put into announcements in the future.

I guess for the future we can simply not link anything anymore to git
web... (we could provide commands to look at the git log I guess...).
But breaking the old links is not ideal.
We could instead point the web git.gnunet.org to a static page on
www.gnunet.org that explains that we do not provide it (anymore) and
link to cgit-paywalldemo.gnunet.org in the future.

FWIW I restartet the bootstrap peer and was able to connect.
