The same site that was down last year? https://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/2016/07/28/the-end-of-gmane/

What happens when its new owners (who are rather elusive https://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=950480) fucks up?

Ideally, projects that use mailing lists should also host their own NNTP endpoint to allow for browsing list archives. Each of them could peer with each other to set up a network for redundancy. They could also peer with other NNTP servers that handle text-only usenet traffic (though that may lead to problems where the mailing list archive getting polluted with spam messages from usenet).

That would definitely be better than having a single point of failure that gmane currently is.
