fwiw it looks like one could search "user" and "developer" with
https://www.mail-archive.com:
https://www.mail-archive.com/qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org/
https://www.mail-archive.com/qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org/
But if the provider is shutting down like Nabble in the past, this will
be also gone.
Cheers,

That often does not work.
Try finding this post

Interesting, it looks like the archive hasn't been fully indexed.
Point taken. However I will also point out that most forum software
I've used has an awful search as well (usually I resort to Google) so
I'm not sure whether Discourse is any better.
A forum also makes it possible for someone to continue a thread from x
years ago with new related questions or information. Something that is
really hard to do on a mailing list from what I know.
Most forums frown on "necro-posting" like that because it's often
misused and reopens a completed discussion with something barely
related (and forces everyone to re-read a bunch of long forgotten posts
to get the context), so I'm not so sure that's a positive.
Cheers,
Adam.
