Unfortunately there is no "Bitcoin mailing list" entity that could
purchase a domain or hosting on its own. It would be possible to set one
up but ultimately it'd ground out in community members volunteering
their own resources to maintain the archive. (This is exactly what is
happening with the new gnusha.org archives.)
I suppose in theory somebody with a lot of cash could set up an org with
a charter and an endowment that could pay some sysadmin forever...but
it's hard to see anybody stepping up for the sake of email archives.
And as we've seen from our own problems with the Linux Foundation
servers, and from the recent hack on the Internet Archive, that even
this isn't likely to be sufficient.
The hope by using the LF servers was that, because they are a large and
diversified organization, and ideologically aligned with providing
access to information, that they would stick around. It's pretty
frustrating and disappointing that this isn't the case.
