Will this info be updated on the
https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/
 site?

Do you think this patch post will get the attention from all the key users
of Grub (like distribution maintainers, Buildroot, Yocto, etc.) to start
planning to update their build tools to point to a new place?

Will some pointer be left in place from the current Git and mailing list to
the new location, and archive of the current list for future reference?

Thanks,
Andrew
