I wonder if donating server time/infrastructure might help, though?

gmane.org is down, but IIRC one of the questions on the FAQ was "what hardware does gmane run on" and the answer was a photograph of a dinky server closet using a few ageing Opterons that was running in Lars' day job office.

Maybe some dedicated hosting might be appreciated? gmane was a fantastic asset to the community, it deserves resilient hosting, and Lars deserves a hand with running it...

Gmane looks like it could benefit greatly from Google's Project Shield[1][2]. It doesn't fit their criteria for a qualifying site exactly, but perhaps Google could be persuaded to make an exception for such a valuable service.
