Yes, but transitioning away from that due to centralization
concerns and costs; I mainly hosted other lists for dogfooding
purposes.

No.
Clearly some clarification in the README is necessary :x
Help appreciated...

I suggest hosting it yourself, it's packaged for Debian at least...
Fwiw, I have sox-devel and sox-users mirrors for the old lists at
https://public-inbox.org/sox-devel/ and
https://public-inbox.org/sox-users/ , respectively.
You can mirror those, too (there's a "mirror" link w/
instructions and link to example config snippet in the upper right).
For new lists you expect to get big, I suggest running
public-inbox-init with `-V2' to enable the more efficient v2
storage layout (v2 requires SQLite, unlike the old v1)

Maybe the public-inbox-overview(7) manpage helps, and then see
the mirror instructions and try setting up mirrors of the old
lists. public-inbox-watch is what I use for maintaining
mirrors, there's also a manpage for that.

no problem :>
