It's not the right list; redirecting to pgsql-www.

Hm. When I try googling that, the first thing I get is
pgsql-hackers - PostgreSQL
https://www.postgresql.org › list › pgsql-hackers
No information is available for this page.
Learn why
and the "learn why" link says that "You are seeing this result because the
page is blocked by a robots.txt file on your website."
So somebody has blocked the archives from being indexed.
Seems like a bad idea.
