I'm not sure this is super useful, to be honest (as mentioned in #kde-
sysadmins already).

This is really just plain file serving, with no cross-references to either LXR 
(or apidocs). This is basically a dead-end when you follow a result on Google.

Wouldn't it be possible to let robots index https://lxr.kde.org/source/
 instead? We have the infrastructure...

Of course we need to blacklist all the pages allowing to actively *search* LXR 
for robots, in order to avoid abuse.
