The git-users mailing list has become [spam-infested] lately. This to
the point where Google Groups won’t let you view the forum.

I raised this issue in the following places:

https://discord.gg/GRFVkzgxRd
#1828
https://lore.kernel.org/git/20240204084344.jzu2ciulbrdmxz4u@carbon/T/#m16eeb0bd8cd2c30c05836ea134817911ee794ec1

Subscribed members may try to contact the owner of the Google
Group. Konstantin Khomoutov, A regular on that list for many years,
[pointed out] that he has never seen the owner post on the list; he
seems to be “AWOL”.

The only recourse here seems to be to contact Google, which Konstantin
[did].

In the meantime—if anything comes of the support ticket—the mailing list
is useless and there is no point in advertising it.
